"Structure Of Protein Collagen Seen At Unprecedented Level Of Detail." ScienceDaily. ScienceDaily, 28 February 2008. <www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2008 / 02 / 080226104400.htm>.

Knowing that, the team wanted to see if they could change collagen structure with the LOXL enzymes, and whether that could prevent lung fibrosis. LOXL-2 and LOXL-3 are blocked by an enzyme, PXS-S2A in ...

Now, scientists report in ACS Central Science that the unique tenacity of this protein may result from a molecular structure that shields these vulnerable bonds from attack by water that’s present in ...

When stable, collagen has a triple-helix structure with three strands twisted together like rope or yarn. At higher temperatures these threads unravel into random coils.

Collagen is a major protein which is found in connective tissues and the extracellular matrix (ECM). Helical in structure, at least 27 types of collagen have been identified in the human body ...

Dinosaurs continue to fascinate people, but that’s not their only enduring quality: Collagen in their skeletons remains intact for millions of years, despite containing chemical bonds that should only ...

Simon Fraser University (SFU) research is yielding new insights into one of the most perplexing properties of collagen. A recent paper by physics professor Nancy Forde and postdoctoral researcher Alaa ...
