Type III Collagen is a homotrimer, or a protein composed of three identical peptide chains (), each called an alpha 1 chain of type III collagen.Formally, the monomers are called collagen type III, alpha-1 chain and in humans are encoded by the COL3A1 gene.Type III collagen is one of the fibrillar collagens whose proteins have a long, inflexible, triple-helical domain.
Swiss-model. Domains. InterPro. Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen of the human body, consisting of around 90% of the body's total collagen in vertebrates. Due to this, it is also the most abundant protein type found in all vertebrates. Type I forms large, eosinophilic fibers known as collagen fibers, which make up most of the rope ...
Type II collagen is the basis for hyaline cartilage, including the articular cartilages at joint surfaces. It is formed by homotrimers of collagen, type II, alpha 1 chains. It makes up 50% of all protein in cartilage and 85–90% of collagen of articular cartilage. Type II collagen is organised into fibrils. This fibrillar network of collagen ...
Ionization and Brønsted character of N-terminal amino, C-terminal carboxylate, and side chains of amino acid residues The common natural forms of amino acids have a zwitterionic structure, with −NH + 3 (−NH + 2 − in the case of proline) and −CO − 2 functional groups attached to the same C atom, and are thus α-amino acids, and are the only ones found in proteins during translation ...
A representation of the 3D structure of the protein myoglobin showing turquoise α-helices. This protein was the first to have its structure solved by X-ray crystallography. Toward the right-center among the coils, a prosthetic group called a heme group (shown in gray) with a bound oxygen molecule (red). Proteins are large biomolecules and ...
Escherichia coli (/ ˌ ɛ ʃ ə ˈ r ɪ k i ə ˈ k oʊ l aɪ / ESH-ə-RIK-ee-ə KOH-ly) is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms. Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some serotypes such as EPEC, and ETEC are pathogenic and can cause serious food poisoning in ...
The serpin (white) first binds a protease (grey) with the exposed reactive centre loop (blue). When this loop is cleaved by the protease, it rapidly inserts into the A-sheet (light blue), deforming and inhibiting the protease. ( PDB: 1K9O, 1EZX ) Serine and cysteine proteases operate by a two-step catalytic mechanism.
