'''Structural highlights''': They are made up of polypeptide chains that are elongated and fibrous in nature or have a sheet like structure. These fibers and sheets are mechanically strong and are water insoluble. | '''Structural highlights''': They are made up of polypeptide chains that are elongated and fibrous in nature or have a sheet like structure.
