Molecular forces involved in protein structure Protein folding Structure and biosynthesis of collagen
Accessory proteins?
COLLAGEN: Properties
Most abundant protein in mammals example of a fibrous protein (in general, these protein have repetitive secondary structures, are poorly soluble, and cannot be crystallized; other fibrous proteins include elastin in tendons & keratins in hair and nails) collagen composed of approximately 33% glycine, 21% proline or hydroxyproline, and 11% alanine
Marfan syndrome is caused by mutations in the fibrillin gene; Fibrillin is a large fibrous protein component of extraocular microfibrils, frequently associated with elastin
