Which of the following is not an example of fibrous protein?
- AKeratin
- BAlbumin
- CCollagen
- DMyosin
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
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.
-
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.
-
Conclusion
The option which is not an example of fibrous protein is:
