Abstract excerpt
An algorithm was derived to relate the amino acid sequence of a collagen triple helix to its thermal stability. This calculation is based on the triple helical stabilization propensities of individual residues and their intermolecular and intramolecular interactions, as quantitated by melting temperature values of host-guest peptides. Experimental melting temperature values of a number of triple helical peptides...
