Abstract excerpt
Misfolding of the triple helix has been shown to play a critical role in collagen diseases. The substitution of a single Gly by another amino acid breaks the characteristic repeating (Gly-X-Y)n sequence pattern and results in connective tissue disease such as osteogenesis imperfecta. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of normal and mutated collagen triple-helical peptides offer an opportunity to...
