Synthetic peptide fibre. Molecular model of a synthetic collagen-like peptide fibre,showing three different ways of representing the structure. Peptides are small molecules formed from amino acids. Peptides can be linked together to form proteins. Collagen is a long,fibrous,structural protein that usually takes the form of a triple helix,as seen here. Synthetic peptide collagen chains have a range of medical uses,such as in skin grafts and cosmetic surgery. 674 atoms are shown in this model. The secondary structure (red,yellow,pink helices) is overlaid on tubular and space-filled molecular models | |
