- Proteins
- Globular proteins
- polypeptide chain is folded into a compact sphere
- soluble because of hyrdophilic side chains on the outside of the molecule
- important for metabolic reactions
- reactions needed to maintain the life of an organism
- important for metabolic reactions
- ENZYMES
- 3dimensional structure
- Fibrous proteins
- not folded but remain in long chains
- several polypeptide chains can cross link with eachother for extra strength
- insoluble and important for maintaining structure
