What shape does a coiled protein typically have?

Sheet
Helix
Globular
Linear

The correct answer is: Helix

A coiled protein typically has a helix shape. This is because the coiled protein is folded and twisted at regular intervals, creating a helical structure. Option A, sheet, is incorrect because this refers to a beta-sheet structure, which is a flat sheet-like shape. Option C, globular, is incorrect because this refers to a spherical shape. Option D, linear, is incorrect because this refers to a straight, uncoiled structure. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, helix.
