Abstract excerpt
In this study, we examine the relationships between the structure and stability of five related collagen-like molecules that have hydroxyproline residues occupying positions not observed in vertebrate collagen. Two of the molecules contain valine or threonine and form stable triple helices in water. Three of the molecules contain allo-threonine (an enantiomer of threonine), serine, or alanine, and are not stable....
