Collagen is a complex hierarchical material with mechanical properties that vary significantly across different scales. On the molecular scale, atomistic and course-grained modeling simulations, as well as numerous experimental methods, have led to several estimates of the Young's modulus of collagen at the molecular level.
The procollagen complex is then modified by different enzyme proteinases which cleave N and C terminal pro-peptides that are present on either side of the molecule. This process occurs outside of the cellular membrane at which post processing, the molecules cross link and form a final type I collagen product.

Type III collagen is synthesized by cells as a pre-procollagen. [6] The signal peptide is cleaved off producing a procollagen molecule. Three identical type III procollagen chains come together at the carboxy-terminal ends, and the structure is stabilized by the formation of disulphide bonds. Each individual chain folds into a left-handed helix ...
Type V Collagen is considered a regulatory fibril forming collagen. [5] Collagen V is associated with the COL5A1 gene which is the gene which provides instructions to produce Collagen V. Type V Collagen, like other collagens, is made up of procollagen molecules. Collagen V molecular isoforms are α1(V)α2(V)α3(V), α1(V)3, and α1(V)2 α2(V).
This gene encodes the alpha-1 chain of type II collagen, a fibrillar collagen found in cartilage and the vitreous humor of the eye. Mutations in this gene are associated with achondrogenesis, chondrodysplasia, early onset familial osteoarthritis, SED congenita, Langer-Saldino achondrogenesis, Kniest dysplasia, Stickler syndrome type I, and spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia Strudwick type.
