Mammalian collagens

Collagen, the principal fibrous protein in mammalian tissue, has a tertiary structure made up of twisted a-helices. Three polypeptide chains, each of which is a left-handed helix, are twisted into a right-handed super helix to form an extremely strong tertiary structure. It has remarkable tensile strength, which makes it important in the structure of bones, tendons, teeth, and cartilage. [Pg.628]

Gelatin is a protein, made from the hydrolysis of collagen, a protein that makes up about a third of all mammalian tissue. Collagen is a key component of connective tissues, tendons, and bones. [Pg.140]

Figure 8.8 Variations in mammalian bone collagen carbon (a) and nitrogen (b) isotope values over the last 40 000 radiocarbon years. The carbon data show a clear shift at c. 10000 radiocarbon years BP, corresponding to the warming at the onset of the Holocene, but the nitrogen data appear to show a minimum during the last Ice Age. Reprinted from Quaternary Science Reviews 23, Hedges,... Figure 8.8 Variations in mammalian bone collagen carbon (a) and nitrogen (b) isotope values over the last 40 000 radiocarbon years.

The enamel of mammalian teeth is much more heavily mineralized than bone, which makes it much harder. In addition, it does not contain collagen, although in its final mature state it does contain small amounts of specialized matrix proteins. Early tooth development is a classical illustration of the interaction between two tissue types (epithelial cells and... [Pg.335]
