Procollagen Triple Helix Assembly: An Unconventional Chaperone-Assisted Folding Paradigm

Fibers composed of type I collagen triple helices form the organic scaffold of bone and many other tissues, yet the energetically preferred conformation of type I collagen at body temperature is a random coil. In fibers, the triple helix is stabilized by neighbors, but how does it fold? The observat...
