✨Differentiate between fibrous proteins and globular proteins.
An important differentiating feature is that fibrous proteins are insoluble in water, weak acids and weak bases but soluble in strong acids and alkalis whereas globular proteins are soluble in water, acids and bases. ... Fibrous proteins have primary and secondary structures.
✨What is meant by denaturation of proteins.
Denaturation is a process in which proteins or nucleic acids lose the quaternary structure, tertiary structure, and secondary structurewhich is present in their native state, by application of some external stress or compound such as a strong acid or base, a concentrated inorganic salt, an organicsolvent (e.g., alcohol or chloroform), radiation or heat.[3] If proteins in a living cell are denatured, this results in disruption of cell activity and possibly cell death. Protein denaturation is also a consequence of cell death.[4][5] Denatured proteins can exhibit a wide range of characteristics, from conformational change and loss of solubility to aggregation due to the exposure of hydrophobic groups. Denatured proteins lose their 3D structure and therefore cannot function.
