## Abstract Average helical twists were calculated by the method of Sugeta and Miyazawa (Biopolymers 1967, 5, 673โ679) for all of the collagen model peptides analyzed to date. Calculation of the helical twists of all triplets in each peptide strand provided novel insights for several model peptides
The triple-helical conformation of collagen has been proposed to be important for mediation of cellular activities, such as adhesion and activation, extracellular matrix assembly, and enzyme function. We have developed synthetic protocols that allow for the study of biological activities of specific
