3-dimensional structure of hemoglobin, a globular protein.
In biochemistry, globular proteins or spheroproteins are spherical ("globe-like") proteins and are one of the common protein types (the others being fibrous, disordered and membrane proteins). Globular proteins are somewhat water-soluble (forming colloids in water), unlike the fibrous or membrane proteins.[1] There are multiple fold classes of globular proteins, since there are many different architectures that can fold into a roughly spherical shape.
The term globin can refer more specifically to proteins including the globin fold.[2]
