Functionalizable collagen model peptides.
The functionalizability and conformational properties of azidoproline (Azp)-containing collagen model peptides (CMPs) were studied. The results show that (4R)Azp has a similar stabilizing effect on the collagen triple helix as (4R)hydroxyproline and that functionalized CMPs are readily accessible by "click" chemistry. The resulting triazole-functionalized CMPs form stable triple helices, demons...
متن کاملFinal Report: Mechanism of UV-Induced Damage to Mammalian Collagen
Number of Papers published in peer-reviewed journals: Final Report: Mechanism of UV-Induced Damage to Mammalian Collagen Report Title The overall aim of this work has been to compare the effects of temperature on the rates and kinetics of the direct photochemical interaction between UV and mammalian collagen as functions of excitation wavelengths, temperature, fluorescence spectral distribution...
متن کاملMolecular level detection and localization of mechanical damage in collagen enabled by collagen hybridizing peptides
Mechanical injury to connective tissue causes changes in collagen structure and material behaviour, but the role and mechanisms of molecular damage have not been established. In the case of mechanical subfailure damage, no apparent macroscale damage can be detected, yet this damage initiates and potentiates in pathological processes. Here, we utilize collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP), which bi...
متن کاملFacile modification of collagen directed by collagen mimetic peptides.
Recent widespread interest in the development of engineered tissue and organ replacement therapies has prompted demand for new approaches to immobilize exogenous components to natural collagen. Chemical coupling of synthetic moieties to amino acid side chains has been commonly practiced for such purposes; however, such coupling reactions are difficult to control on large proteins and are genera...
متن کاملEpidermal cell migration on collagen and collagen-derived peptides.
Nucleopore filters coated with various genetic types of collagen and certain collagen-derived peptides were implanted under one margin of a skin wound on adult Notophthalmus viridescens (newt) hind limbs. In contrast to their behaviour on untreated filters, epidermal cells migrated readily and to equal degrees on human type I, newt type I, bovine type II, and bovine type IV collagen. Denaturati...
