Functions Properties Globular Fibrous Shapes Ph Temp Draw

This card compares globular and fibrous proteins by structure (shape, folding), properties (solubility, stability), and functions (metabolic activities versus structural support).

This flashcard provides a table comparing globular and fibrous proteins in terms of their structure, properties (solubility, sensitivity to pH/temp), and functions (metabolic vs. structural).

Front Draw a table to compare structure, properties and functions of globular and fibrous proteins.

StructurePropertiesFunctions
Globular
  • Round/spherical
  • Can be tertiary or quaternary
  • Irregular shapes
  • Exact shape/structure determines function
  • More sensitive to pH and temp changes
  • Soluble
  • Metabolic functions
Fibrous
  • Long, narrow
  • Secondary
  • Regular shapes
  • Strong
  • More durable to pH and temp changes
  • Insoluble
  • Structural functions (making up tissues)
