== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
An energy minimized three-dimensional structure of a collagen microfibril template was constructed based on the five-stranded model of Smith (1968), using molecular modeling methods and Kollman force fields (Weiner and Kollman, 1981). For this model, individual molecules were constructed with three identical polypeptide chains [Gly-Pro-Pro)n, (Gly-Prop-Hyp)n, or (Gly-Ala-Ala)n, where n = 4, 12, and 16) coiled into a right-handed triple-helical structure. The axial distance between adjacent amino acid residues is about 0.29 nm per polypeptide chain, and the pitch of each chain is approximately 3.3 residues. The microfibril model consists of five parallel triple helices packed so that a left-handed superhelical twist exists. The structural characteristics of the computed microfibril are consistent with those obtained for collagen by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The energy minimized Smith microfibril model for (Gly-Pro-Pro)12 has an axial length of about 10.2 nm (for a 36 amino acid residue chain), which gives an estimated D-spacing (234 amino acids per chain) of approximately 66.2 nm. Studies of the microfibril models (Gly-Pro-Pro)12, (Gly-Pro-Hyp)12, and (Gly-Ala-Ala)12 show that nonbonded van der Waals interactions are important for microfibril formation, while electrostatic interactions contribute to the stability of the microfibril structure and determine the specificity by which collagen molecules pack within the microfibril.
