Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals. This fibrous, structural protein comprises
a right-handed bundle of three parallel, left-handed polyproline II-type helices. Much …

Collagen, as a thermal-sensitive protein, is the most abundant structural protein in animals.
Native collagen has been widely applied in various fields due to its specific physicochemical …

The main features of the triple helical structure of collagen were deduced in the mid-1950s
from fibre X-ray diffraction of tendons. Yet, the resulting models only could offer an average …

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer‐related death due to poor treatment
responses and resistance arising from tumour heterogeneity. Here, we show that adverse …

Currently, synthetic fibre production focuses primarily on high performance materials. For
high performance fibrous materials, such as silks, this involves interpreting the structure …

Raman spectroscopy can detect conformational changes in collagen structures and these
findings are reviewed in this article. More specifically, some progressive diseases are mainly …

The structure and remodeling of collagen in vivo is critical to the pathology and healing of
many human diseases, as well as to normal tissue development and regeneration. In …

Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals. The protein consists of a helix of three
strands, each with sequence X− Y− Gly. Natural collagen is most stable when X is (2 S) …

In previous work, we demonstrated that 4-fluoroproline residues can contribute greatly to the
conformational stability of the collagen triple helix, and that this stability arises from …

Collagens provide the structural framework of bones and cartilages and hold responsibility
for shape and most of the biomechanical properties such as resistance to pressure, torsion …
