The properties conferred upon triple-helical collagen-mimetic peptides by the presence of cysteine residues

Recently, the ability of polymeric collagen-like peptides to regulate cell behavior has generated great interest. A triple-helical peptide known as collagen-related peptide (CRP) contains the sequence (Gly-Pro-Hyp)10. With Gly-Pro-Cys triplets appended to both of its termini, designated CRPcys, chem...
