Q

Globular properties

A

-spherical globe shape
- soluble in water
-Metabolic roles
-Compact and folded into spherical molecules making them soluble in water

21
Q

Example of a Globular structure

22
Q

Fibrous protein

A

3d tertiary and quaternary structure of proteins that forms fibres

23
Q

Properties of fibrous proteins

A

-long polypeptide chains
-have structural roles in the body
-the polypeptide chains are able to form long fibres due to the cross linkages of polypeptides
Insoluble in water so have structural functions
Strong and tough

24
Q

Examples of fibrous protein

A

Collagen, Keratin,

25
Q

Collagen

A
  • collagen is a fiborous protein
  • huge strentght due to hydrogen and covalent bonds
  • collagen molecules wrap around eachother to form fibrils forms alpha helix
  • ## forms the structure of bones,connective tissue and tendons
26
Q

Haemoglobin

A
  • water soluble globular rotein
  • consists of two beta olyetide chains and a haem group
  • carries oxygen in the blood
