Globular Proteins
The overall shapes of these proteins are more _________ than string-like.
The globular shape allows for hydrophobic side-chains to be directed to the proteins
interior (forming water-free pockets), while polar side-chains are oriented outward to
form a hydrophilic exterior. The hydrophilic exterior allows globular proteins to be more
easily dispersed in solutions (intercellular and extracellular).
Fibrous Proteins
The narrower shape makes it difficult for hydrophobic side-chains to be oriented toward
the interior region of a fibrous protein, and results in a hydrophobic exterior. For this
reason, fibrous proteins tend to be water-insoluble. Fibrous proteins play important roles
in providing structural rigidity and in contractile movement (muscles).
An example of a fibrous protein is collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the
body. Its function is to provide structural rigidity and stiffness. It is found in skin,
ligaments, tendons, and other parts of the body.
An illustration of the components of collagen is shown above.
