Amino acid analysis and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis demonstrated that the residual proteins were collagenous and of molecular weight. Extracted membranes retained their continuity of structure and exhibi
The tertiary structure of both fibrous proteins and globular proteins is adapted to their biologic role. For example, α-keratin is a multiunit elastic fibrous protein with protofibrils as the basic unit. The protofibrils consist of four right-handed α-helices wound in a left-handed supercoil....
7.5.2 Outline the difference between fibrous and globular proteins, with reference to two examples of each protein type. Protein shape can be categorised as either fibrous or globular. Fibrous proteins tend to be elongated, physically tough and insoluble in water. Collagen found in the skin and ...
16、eins) and collagen (fibrous protein); Linus Pauling (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1954) figured out the structure of a-keratin helix. The carboxyl group of residue n is hydrogen bonded to the backbone amide of the amino acid at position n+4. NCC OR1 H H NCC O R2 HH NCC OR3 H ...
Fibrous proteins, like α-keratin, have elongated rope-like structures that are strong and hydrophobic. Globular proteins, like the plasma proteins and the immunoglobulins, are more spherical and hydrophilic.

Its function is to carry oxygen around in the blood, and it is facilitated in doing so by the presence of the haem group which contains a \text{Fe}^{2+} ion, onto which the oxygen molecules can bind. Collagen is a fibrous protein consisting of three polypeptide chains wound around each...

Some individual proteins self-associate into complexes (quaternary structure) that can consist of tens to hundreds of subunits (supramolecular assemblies).

Conclusion The modeled TSHR structure adopts a non-globular arrangement, similar to that in RI. The β regions of this typical LRR protein are the same as in the RI structure, whereas the α helices are shorter and the conformations of the αβ and βα connections are different. As a res...
