Article Synopsis
- Type I collagen is crucial for the structure and strength of connective tissues, but its triple-helical forms are unstable at body temperature, prompting studies on its stability at the fibril level.*
-
- Experiments show that heating collagen fibrils causes a decrease in stiffness (Young's modulus) until 58°C, after which stabilization occurs due to intermolecular interactions, alongside water absorption and increased internal friction.*
-
- The findings suggest a new intermolecular mechanism for collagen stability, which could enhance our understanding of how these proteins maintain their function in biological tissues.*
