Detailed explanation-1: -Collagen is protein molecules made up of amino acids. It provides structural support to the extracellular space of connective tissues. Due to its rigidity and resistance to stretching, it is the perfect matrix for skin, tendons, bones, and ligaments.
Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are polymers of amino acids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Collagen is an ideal candidate polymer for such research and medical applications because it serves as the predominant component and primary structural-mechanical determinant of most tissue ECM7, 8.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main amino acids that make collagen are proline, glycine and hydroxyproline. These amino acids group together to form protein fibrils in a triple helix structure.
