Several polytripeptide and polyhexapeptide models of collagen have the same triple helical conformation with one NH…O interchain H bond per tripeptide. Collagen itself probably has this structure.

Researchers from the Chair of Biomaterials at the University of Bayreuth have discovered the mechanism by which collagen, the most common protein in the human body, successfully assembles itself. They ...

It's made from long strands of protein that intertwine to form a tough triple helix. "Collagen is the scaffold that holds us together," Raines says. "What makes the collagen protein so stable ...

Figure 1: Pauling and Corey's first guess at the structure of collagen, showing a beautifully drawn illustration of their proposed three-chain helix: it was wrong, and they later withdrew it.

In its natural state, collagen exists as a tightly wound triple-helix structure – a molecular arrangement that resists breakdown under normal conditions. However, through prolonged exposure to heat ...
