Protein (fibrous or globular)



The photo above is of hair, an example of Keratin. Keratin is a type of fibrous protein, a protein that repeats and repeats. Fibrous proteins have "only primary and secondary structures" that with the insolubility and elongation make up this type of protein. Hair, nails, hooves are all examples of Keratin.
