## Abstract In collagen, strands of the sequence XaaYaaGly form a tripleβhelical structure. The Yaa residue is often (2S,4__R__)β4βhydroxyproline (Hyp). The inductive effect of the hydroxyl group of Hyp residues greatly increases collagen stability. Here, electron withdrawal by the hydroxyl group i
