Listed below chemical and physical properties apply to fibrous protein and which apply to globular protein.(some can apply to both, some to one of them and some to neither)
1.Elongated very thin structures consisting of chains of monomers wound around each other.
2.Higher order structure is determined by weak interactions between R groups.
3.Constructed from amino acid monomers.
4.Very high tensile strength.
5.May function as biological catalysts.
6.Constructed of only amino acid e.g. alanine repeated over and over.
7.Structure allows them to store inheritable information.
8.May function as transport proteins in cell membranes.
9.Monomers are held together by covalent glycosidic linkages.
