Which of the following is NOT an example of fibrous protein?
- a
Keratin
- b✓
Albumin
- c
Collagen
- d
Myosin
Albumin
Step 1: Protein Morphology — Fibrous proteins are insoluble in water and have long, fiber-like structures (e.g., Keratin, Collagen, Myosin).
Step 2: Globular Proteins — Globular proteins are spherical or ellipsoidal in shape and are typically water-soluble (e.g., Albumin, Hemoglobin).
Step 3: Selection — Albumin is a classic example of a globular protein, not a fibrous one. Correct option is (b).
Key Point: Keratin is found in hair and nails, collagen in connective tissue, and myosin in muscles.
