Globular Proteins

As globular proteins (including globular) are proteins referred to that a more or less spherical tertiary or quaternary structure have. Their non-polar side chains protrude into the interior of the molecule, while the polar ones protrude outwards and thus lead to water solubility.

This group includes:

• Globins
• Histones and protamines
• Albumins
• Globuline (namesake of the group)
• Prolamines
• Gluteline
• Edestin
