Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The fibrous and globular proteins are to be contrasted in terms of their general secondary structure.
Concept introduction: Proteins in which the peptide chains are folded into spherical or globular shape are known as globular proteins. Those proteins which have a simple, regular and elongated structure are known as fibrous protein.
(b)
Interpretation: The fibrous and globular proteins are to be contrasted in terms of their relative abundance within the human body.
Concept introduction: Proteins in which the peptide chains are folded into spherical or globular shape are known as globular proteins. Those proteins which have a simple, regular and elongated structure are known as fibrous protein.
