Type I collagen, the most abundant and arguably the most complex molecule in the human body, is an ABB heterotrimer that self-assembles to form well-defined nanofibers. We herein for the first time report the construction of peptides that could simultaneously mimic the heterotrimer composition and the self-assembly features of Type I collagen.
I 型胶原蛋白是人体中最丰富、可以说是最复杂的分子,是一种 ABB 异三聚体,能够自我组装形成具有明确定义的纳米纤维。本文首次报道了能够同时模拟 I 型胶原蛋白的异三聚体组成和自组装特征的肽的构建。
