Fibrous protein

Fibrous proteins are a category of proteins characterized by their elongated, thread-like structures. They play crucial roles in providing structural support, strength, and stability to various biological systems. Unlike globular proteins, which tend to be soluble and have complex, three-dimensional shapes, fibrous proteins are usually insoluble in water and have a more straightforward, linear arrangement. Key features of fibrous proteins include: 1. **Structure**: They have repetitive amino acid sequences and typically form long, fibrous chains.
