Abstract excerpt
The purpose of the work was to investigate at the molecular structural and energy levels the consequence of amino acid substitutions in collagen that cause systemic diseases. The data have been systematized on defects in human collagen III, and the patterns of single-nucleotide polymorphisms collected. Then molecular mechanics calculations were performed for native and mutant collagen molecule fragments. The...
