Proteins-fibrous and globular

?
View mindmap
  • Proteins
    • Fibrous
      • Not conjugated
      • Long and linear
      • Limited range of amino acids
      • Organised and strong structures
      • Insoluble
      • E.g Keratin, Collagen
      • Structural roles
    • Globular
      • Soluble
      • Sometimes conjugated (presence of prosthetic groups)
      • Enzymes e.g. catalase
      • Transport proteins e.g. haemoglobin
      • Antibodies
      • Membrane proteins
      • Hormones e.g. insulin
      • Hydrophilic R group on outside
      • Compact and spherical
      • Hydrophobic R group on inside
