The structure and behavior of one of the most common proteins in our bodies has been resolved at a level of detail never before seen, thanks to new research performed at the Advanced Photon Source ...

The researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the atomic structure of a packed collagen assembly that deviates from the traditionally accepted right-handed superhelical ...

Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study led by Rice University's Jeffrey Hartgerink and Tracy Yu, in ...
