Fibrous and globular proteins are two main classes of protein tertiary structure.  Here are some differences between fibrous and globular proteins: Structure: Fibrous proteins are made up of long, narrow strands. Globular proteins are made up of polypeptide chains folded into a spherical or globular shape. Function: Fibrous proteins are structural, meaning they help maintain cell shape. Globular proteins are functional, meaning they carry out a specific biological function in the body. Solubility: Fibrous proteins are generally insoluble in water, weak acids, and weak bases.
