The structure of one type of these entities was solved in 1958 by Max Perutz, who shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Sir John Cowdery Kendrew, while another type of these compounds can be allosterically changed by a calcium ion, an important step of the sliding filament model.

That compound is tropomyosin, which prevents (*) myosin from binding to actin, both of which are also types of these polymers. For ten points, name this class of biologic compounds exemplified by myoglobin and hemoglobin, which consist of polypeptide chains of amino acids.
