Abstract:
Collagen is the most abundant protein in human body and a periodic helix, i. e. , triple helix, fibrous protein, which provides the scaffold structures for the cell adhesion and macromolecule aggregation, etc. With the development of gene engineering and biomaterial technologies, and the incessant studies on the technique to obtain the proteins with special functions, the collagen protein has been one of the third generation biomaterials that attract more attention than others. In this paper, we reviewed the recent structure-based design and biosynthesis of collagen.
