Abstract

The recently solved crystal structure of the procollagen C propeptide reveals the basis for chain selectivity as well as an unexpected asymmetry to this homotrimeric molecule. In addition, mapping disease-causing mutations to the structure demonstrates clear correlation between severity of disease and mutation location.
