The collagen molecule, also known as the “tropocollagen”, is part of larger collagen aggregates such as fibrils. The whole molecule is approximately 300 nm long and 1.5 nm in diameter. Individually ...

The researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the atomic structure of a packed collagen assembly that deviates from the traditionally accepted right-handed superhelical ...

Scientists have created the strongest form of collagen known to science, a stable alternative to human collagen that could one day be used to treat arthritis and other conditions that result from ...

The collagen molecule or the tropocollagen contains subunits that assemble without assistance and has regular ends that form larger arrays in the extracellular spaces of tissues. Different collagen ...

Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, owes its remarkable strength and resilience to a unique triple helical structure. This conformation is formed by three intertwined polypeptide chains ...
