Fiber

Fibers are classified as biopolymers - and consist of many protein molecules (hence the term “fibrillar protein”, as opposed to amyloid), APPD detergents, other fatty acids, carbohydrates, metal ions, nucleic acids, lipids, hormones and growth regulators. Through their hydrogen and ionic bonds, the van der Waals force, acid-base interactions, as well as through the mechanism of self-association of the resulting oligomers (with the number of residues up to 30), the spatial conformation of the macromolecule is formed. The peptides in the fiber are of a lateral helical nature. The chemical formula of the fibril is (CH2O)n, where n is the number of units. The function of this fibrous component is to mechanically support the cell and its shape. Fibers
