Molecular and structural mapping of collagen fibril interactions

Abstract excerpt

The fibrous collagens form the structural basis of all mammalian connective tissues, including the vasculature, dermis, bones, tendons, cartilage, and those tissues that support organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, and lungs. The helical structure of collagen has been extensively studied but in addition to its helical character, its molecular packing arrangement (in its aggregated or fibrillar form) and the...
