Collagen structure is complex... The molecular and packing structures of collagen have eluded scientists for decades... The packing structure of collagen has not been defined to the same degree outside of the fibrillar collagen types... simplified the topological progression of neighboring collagen molecules and hence did not predict the correct conformation of the discontinuous D... is a subunit of larger collagen aggregates such as fibrils... With type I collagen and possibly all fibrillar collagens if not all collagens... suggest that they are individually unstable although within collagen fibrils they are so well ordered as to be crystalline... A distinctive feature of collagen is the regular arrangement of... this means that approximately half of the collagen sequence is not glycine or proline... however collagen is not quite just a structural protein... the length of the collagen molecule divided by the stagger distance D... collagen helices forming well organized aggregates... was a barrier to the study of monomeric collagen until it was found that tropocollagen from young animals can be extracted because it is... important to better understanding the way in which collagen structure affects cell...
