Sequence dependence of renucleation after a Gly mutation in model collagen peptides.

Abstract excerpt

Missense mutations in the collagen triple helix that replace one Gly residue in the (Gly-X-Y)(n) repeating pattern by a larger amino acid have been shown to delay triple helix folding. One hypothesis is that such mutations interfere with the C- to N-terminal directional propagation and that the identity of the residues immediately N-terminal to the mutation site may determine the delay time and the degree of...
