Abstract excerpt
Type I collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, produced by folding of two alpha1(I) polypeptides and one alpha2(I) polypeptide into the triple helix. A conserved stem-loop structure is found in the 5' untranslated region of collagen mRNAs, encompassing the translation start codon...
