The Collagen Triple Helix Collagen is composed of three chains, wound together in a tight triple helix. n A repeated sequence of three amino acids forms this structure. n Every third amino acid is glycine、proline、 hydroxyproline n

The Collagen Triple Helix

Vitamin C n Hydroxyproline, which is critical for collagen stability, is created by modifying normal proline amino acids after the collagen chain is built. The reaction requires vitamin C to assist in the addition of oxygen.

Collagen on the Grocery Shelf n Collagen from livestock animals is a familiar ingredient for cooking. Like most proteins, when collagen is heated, it loses all of its structure. The triple helix unwinds and the chains separate. Then, when this denatured mass of tangled chains cools down, it soaks up all of the surrounding water like a sponge.
