Protein Structure

Protein Shapes: Globular vs Fibrous

Description

Proteins can have globular or fibrous shapes, and these shapes help explain how they work in the body. Globular proteins are compact and usually fold into rounded forms. Fibrous proteins are long, extended molecules that often provide support and structure.

The shape of a protein is tied to its f...

Transcript

Le proteine si sono evolute per formare strutture quaternarie e complessi multiunità, quando la cellula necessita di molecole più grandi, piuttosto che avere catene amminoacidiche più lunghe. La maggior parte delle proteine rientrano in una delle due categorie:globulari e fibrose. Le proteine globulari sono compatte con la catena aminoacidica av...
