Globular Protein

Proteins that are at the tertiary structural level of proteins which are foldings of alpha helices or beta-pleated sheets. They are spherical in shape containing tertiary and quaternary structures. Globular proteins may be found in the hemoglobin (transports oxygen) in your blood. There is blood circulating throughout the body, so the picture of my hand represents the blood where the hemoglobin and therefore the globular proteins exist.
