Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a disorder characterized by fragile bones, is often a consequence of missense mutations in type I collagen, which change one Gly in the repeating (Gly-Xaa-Yaa)(n) sequence to a larger amino acid. The impact of local environment and the identity of the residue replacing Gly were investigated using two sets of triple-helical peptides. Gly mutations in the highly stable...
