We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

1bkv is a 3 chain structure. The April 2000 RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month feature on Collagen by David S. Goodsell is 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2000_4. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
The 2 A crystal structure reported here of the collagen-like model peptide, T3-785, provides the first visualization of how the sequence of collagen defines distinctive local conformational variations in triple-helical structure.
