Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study challenges that notion, revealing an unexpected confirmation in ...

Collagen isn’t just a skincare buzzword—it’s the structural protein that quite literally holds you together. It makes up a ...

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 ...

Even an ordinary globular protein can assume a rogue guise if conditions are right. These results indicate that myoglobin fibrils contain β-strands that are oriented perpendicular to the main fibre ...

Collagen is a protein made up of amino-acids, which are in turn built of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Collagen contains specific amino acids – Glycine, Proline, Hydroxyproline and Arginine. Collagen ...

Collagen, the body’s most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study led by Rice University’s Jeffrey Hartgerink and Tracy Yu, in ...

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 ...
