Everything about Fibrous Protein totally explained
Fibrous proteins, also called
scleroproteins, are one of the two main classes of protein
quaternary structure (the other being
globular proteins). Fibrous proteins are only found in
animals.
Fibrous proteins from long
protein filaments, rod- or wire-like shapes. They are usually
inert structural or storage proteins. They are generally water-
insoluble and are found as an
aggregate due to
hydrophobic R groups that stick out of the molecule. The amino acid sequences they're made from often have limited
residues with repeats. These can form unusual
secondary structures, for example
collagen triple
helix. The structures often contain 'cross-links' between chains, for example cys-cys
disulfide bonds between
keratin chains.
Globular proteins tend to denature more easily than fibrous proteins.
Fibrous proteins are usually used to construct
connective tissues,
tendons,
bone matrix and
muscle fiber.
Examples of fibrous proteins include
keratins,
collagens and
elastins.
