✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The structure and self‐assembly of collagen and procollagen molecules are reviewed. The registration peptides of procollagen have specific recognition properties which assure (1) selection of component polypeptide chains and (2) registration of their N‐termini, facilitating orderly folding into a collagen helix. The stability of this helix relative to body temperature is critically altered by post‐ribosomal hydroxylation of proline residues. The registration peptides of procollagen may have additional functions such as preventing intracellular fiber formation.
