I know that these are the two main protein classifications based on the tertiary structure.

Fibrous proteins such as collagen, are found as sheets or long strands

globular proteins, such as myoglobin, are spherical in shape.

What other differences or similarities are there?

Check out the Thread for Barron's bio questions. There is some info about this there.
