Influence of Hydrophobic Moieties on the Formation and Stability of Collagen Heterotrimers
In nature, most collagens consist of two or three different strands.Our lab showed that the controlled assembly of synthetic heterotrimers can be achieved through an interstrand salt bridge between (4S)aminoproline and aspartic acid. 4,5The folding rate is however slower compared to that of homotrimers.
