What type of polypeptide chains produces long fibres or large sheets in fibrous proteins? A)those with an abundance of aromatic amino acids B)those with an abundance of hydrophilic amino acids C)those organized approximately parallel along a single axis D)those with amino acids arranged in a repeating (-a-b-c-d-)_n sequence

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fibrous proteins, such as collagen and keratin, have long, extended polypeptide chains that are parallel to each other along a single axis, producing long fibres or large sheets. This is due to the specific organization and alignment of the amino acid sequence in the protein.
