1. Proteins are classified based on their structure into two major types. They are fibrous protein and glubular protein. 

2. Fibrous proteins are linear molecules similar to fibres. They are generally insoluble in water and are held together by disulphide bridges and weak inter molecular hydrogen bonds. These proteins often used as structural proteins. Example, Keratin, Collagen. 

3. Globular proteins have an overall spherical shape. The poly peptide chain is folded into a spherical shape. These proteins are usually soluble in water and have many functions including catalysis.
