Question

Which of the following physical and structural characteristics accurately differentiate fibrous proteins from globular proteins?

Answer: A,B,C

💡 Solution & Explanation

Fibrous proteins feature parallel chains held by H-bonds and disulfide bonds, forming water-insoluble fibers (e.g., keratin, myosin). Globular proteins coil into water-soluble spheres (e.g., insulin, albumin). Curdling of milk structurally converts globular lactalbumin into a denatured fibrous form.
