JEE MainChemistryBiomoleculesMCQ+4 / −1
Which of the following is not an example of fibrous protein?
  1. A
    Keratin
  2. B
    Albumin
  3. C
    Collagen
  4. D
    Myosin
View written solutionFree

Correct answer: B

  1. Recall the classification of proteins

    Proteins are broadly classified into:

    • Fibrous proteins: long, thread-like, generally insoluble in water, mainly structural in function.
    • Globular proteins: spherical, generally soluble in water, often functional proteins such as enzymes and transport proteins.
  2. Check each option

    A: Keratin

    • Keratin is a fibrous protein.
    • It is found in hair, nails, wool, etc.
    • So, A is an example of fibrous protein.

    B: Albumin

    • Albumin is a globular protein.
    • It is water-soluble and found in blood plasma and egg white.
    • So, B is not a fibrous protein.

    C: Collagen

    • Collagen is a fibrous protein.
    • It is an important structural protein in connective tissues.
    • So, C is an example of fibrous protein.

    D: Myosin

    • Myosin is generally treated as a fibrous protein in standard biomolecule classification.
    • It is associated with muscle contraction.
    • So, D is an example of fibrous protein.
  3. Conclusion

    The option which is not an example of fibrous protein is: B: Albumin\boxed{\text{B: Albumin}}B: Albumin​
