What are fibrous and globular proteins? what are he differences b/w them?
please give me some examples of them..
Thanks in advance

Fibrous proteins are those that assume a structural role in the body. As the name implies these proteins have a fibrous shape. Example: Collagen.What are fibrous and globular proteins? what are he differences b/w them?

Globular proteins are those that assume an enzymatic/functional role in the body. As the name implies these proteins have a spherical shape. Example: Hemoglobin and almost all the enzymes in your body.
Perfect.. Would you consider the antibodies as globular protein since its not structural?

so.... is a globular or fibrous protein representative of it's secondary structure since it deals with the overall conformation of the protein? I'm confused on the whole primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary structures.
