A quantitative model for fibril assembly of type I collagen was extended to include the explicit effect of extrahelical peptides. The collagen molecule was simulated by rod-like sequences to which short, rigid tails were connected by "nondimensional" flexible joints. Three collagen structures were s

## Abstract The effects of three glycosaminoglycans (chondroitin 6βsulfate, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronate) and a proteoglycan on the kinetics of fibril formation and on the thermal stability of the __in vitro__ assembled collagen fibrils, under physiological conditions of ionic strength and pH,
## Synopsis A model has been developed for approximating the free energy of collagen fibril formation (AF,) and the equilibrium solubility of collagen under physiological conditions. The model utilizes an expression of Flory for rodlike polymers, with the modification that the "pure" anisotropic p
## Abstract In our earlier analysis of intermolecular interactions between collagen molecules, a major concern with the program employed is that it compared numbers of interactions between residues located on edges of defined, identical width and thus would not necessarily compare the same number o
