The effect of purity upon the triple-helical stability of collagenous peptides

Collagen is the fundamental structural protein, comprising 25–35% of the total body protein, its rod-like triple helix providing support in many tissues. Our laboratory has synthesised 113 Toolkit peptides, each 63 residues long, covering the entirety of the homotrimeric helix sequence of collagen I...
