About Classification of Proteins

Proteins are classified by composition as simple, conjugated and derived proteins, and by shape as fibrous or globular proteins. The topic relates these classes to examples such as albumin, keratin, collagen, haemoglobin and casein, while distinguishing structural proteins from proteins with transport, catalytic or regulatory roles.
