Question

Globular proteins fold up into compact, spherical structures that have uneven surfaces. They tend to form multisubunit complexes, which also have a rounded shape. Fibrous proteins, in contrast, span relatively large distances within the cell and in the extracellular space. Which protein is not classified as a fibrous protein?(a)elastase (b)collagen (c)keratin (d)elastin

Answer 1

Elastase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Collagen, keratin, and elastin are fibrilar proteins.

Elastin is a globular protein, actually an enzyme, that breaks down proteins, such as elastin. It is a protease. In humans, there are eight different genes for the production of elastase. Elastase also has an important immunological role .
