Protein Structure

Protein Shapes: Globular vs Fibrous

Description

Proteins can be grouped by shape into globular proteins and fibrous proteins. These two subtypes also differ in how they dissolve in water and in the jobs they do in cells and tissues.

Globular proteins, also called spheroproteins, are usually round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid type...

Transcript

As proteínas evoluíram para formar estruturas quaternárias e complexas multi-unidades quando moléculas maiores são necessárias pela célula em vez de ter cadeias de aminoácidos mais longas. A maioria das proteínas cai em uma das duas categorias, globular e fibrosa. As proteínas globulares são compactas com a cadeia de aminoácidos enrolada numa fo...
