A Globular protein is spherical in shape and has the property of forming colloids with water. It gets dissolved in water. Globular proteins are also called as spheroproteins owing to their shape. Fibrous proteins are also called as scleroproteins. Fibrous proteins are elongated strand-like structures and are usually present in the form of rods or wires. Hemoglobin is an example of globular protein
