  2. Collagen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen

    Tropocollagen molecule: three left-handed procollagens (red, green, blue) join to form a right-handed triple helical tropocollagen. Collagen (/ ˈ k ɒ l ə dʒ ə n /) is the main structural protein in the extracellular matrix of the connective tissues of many animals. It is the most abundant protein in mammals, [1] making up 25% to 35% of ...

  4. Collagen helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collagen_helix

    TEM image of collagen fibres.. In molecular biology, the collagen triple helix or type-2 helix is the main secondary structure of various types of fibrous collagen, including type I collagen.

  5. Tissue factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_factor

    Tissue factor, also called platelet tissue factor or Coagulation factor III, [5] is a protein present in subendothelial tissue and leukocytes which plays a major role in coagulation and, in humans, is encoded by F3 gene. Its role in the blood clotting is the initiation of thrombin formation from the zymogen prothrombin.

  6. Tendon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendon

    After secretion from the cell, cleaved by procollagen N- and C-proteases, the tropocollagen molecules spontaneously assemble into insoluble fibrils. A collagen molecule is about 300 nm long and 1–2 nm wide, and the diameter of the fibrils that are formed can range from 50–500 nm.

  7. Fibrous protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrous_protein

    Tropocollagen triple helix. In molecular biology, fibrous proteins or scleroproteins are one of the three main classifications of protein structure (alongside globular and membrane proteins). [1] Fibrous proteins are made up of elongated or fibrous polypeptide chains which form filamentous and sheet-like structures.

  8. Soft tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_tissue

    When a solid object impacts a human soft tissue, the energy of the impact will be absorbed by the tissues to reduce the effect of the impact or the pain level; subjects with more soft tissue thickness tended to absorb the impacts with less aversion.

    Pie charts of typical human body composition by percent of mass, and by percent of atomic composition (atomic percent) Body composition may be analyzed in various ways. This can be done in terms of the chemical elements present, or by molecular structure e.g., water , protein , fats (or lipids ), hydroxyapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such ...
