The Contribution of Interchain Salt Bridges to Triple-Helical Stability in Collagen

Studies on collagen and collagen-like peptides suggest that triple-helical stability can vary along the amino acid chain. In this regard, it has been shown that lysine residues in the Y position and acidic residues in the X′ position of (GPO)[subscript 3]GXYGX′Y′(GPO)[subscript 3] peptides lead to t...
