Globular proteins frequently assume a stable structure, unlike fibrous proteins which have multiple conformations, and their structure is easier to determine through x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance, which makes globular proteins more attractive for protein design than the other types of proteins.
Globular proteins frequently assume a stable structure, unlike fibrous proteins which have multiple conformations. The three dimensional structure of globular proteins is typically easier to determine through x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance than both fibrous proteins and membrane proteins, which makes globular proteins more attractive for protein design than the other types of proteins.
