Abstract
The data concerning the synthesis and physicochemical characteristics of one of the practically important proteins-gelatin, as well as the possibilities of its practical application, are systematized and discussed. When considering the latter, emphasis is placed on the use of gelatin in those areas of science and technology that are associated with the specifics of the spatial/molecular structure of this high-molecular compound, namely, as a binder for the silver halide photographic process, immobilized matrix systems with a nano-level organization of an immobilized substance, matrices for creating pharmaceutical/dosage forms and protein-based nanosystems. It was concluded that the use of this protein is promising in the future.

Abstract
The data concerning the synthesis and physicochemical characteristics of specific functional biomaterials-biopolymer-immobilized matrix systems based on gelatin as an array and chemical compounds, which include atoms of various metal elements-are systematized and discussed. The features of this biopolymer which determine the specific properties of the immobilized matrix systems formed by it and their reactivity, are noted. Data on gelatin-immobilized systems in which immobilized substances are elemental metals and coordination compounds formed as a result of redox processes, nucleophilic/electrophilic substitution reactions, and self-assembly (template synthesis), are presented. The possibilities of the practical use of metal-containing gelatin-immobilized systems are promising for the future; in particular, their potential in medicine and pharmacology as a vehicle for "targeted" drug delivery to various internal organs/tissues of the body, and, also, as potential biosensors is noted.

Abstract
AbstractProcesses of synthesis of polycyclic compounds containing various 3d-elements, proceeding in gelatin matrix in the systems M(II) ion – (N,S)- or (N,O,S)-containing organic compound A – mono- or dicarbonyl-containing organic compound B, resulting in one of a variety of inner-sphere transmutations, namely “self-assembly”, have been considered and discussed. The chemical nature of the final products of such a synthesis formed under these specific conditions have been compared with the chemical nature of the final products formed by similar synthesis in solutions. It has been noted that in many cases, the nature and chemical composition of these products differ substantially. Specific features of the density functional theory calculated molecular structures of the metal macrocyclic compounds that can be formed due to such a synthesis in the systems indicated above have been discussed, too. The review covers the period 1990–2016.

Abstract
The evolution of vertebrates required a key development in supramolecular evolution: internally mineralized collagen fibrils. In bone, collagen molecules and mineral crystals form a nanocomposite material comparable to cast iron in tensile strength, but several times lighter and more flexible. Current understanding of the internal nanoscale structure of collagen fibrils, derived from studies of rat tail tendon (RTT), does not explain how nucleation and growth of mineral crystals can occur inside a collagen fibril. Experimental obstacles encountered in studying bone have prevented a solution to this problem for several decades. This report presents a lateral packing model for collagen molecules in bone fibrils, based on the unprecedented observation of multiple resolved equatorial reflections for bone tissue using synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS; ∼1 nm resolution). The deduced structure for pre-mineralized bone fibrils includes features that are not present in RTT: spatially discrete microfibrils. The data are consistent with bone microfibrils similar to pentagonal Smith microfibrils, but are not consistent with the (nondiscrete) quasi-hexagonal microfibrils reported for RTT. These results indicate that collagen fibrils in bone and tendon differ in their internal structure in a manner that allows bone fibrils, but not tendon fibrils, to internally mineralize. In addition, the unique pattern of collagen cross-link types and quantities in mineralized tissues can be can be accounted for, in structural/functional terms, based on a discrete microfibril model.

Abstract
This article is a review of recent developments in the self-assembled nanostructures based on chelate coordination compounds. Molecular nanotechnologies of self-assembly of 3d-element aza- and thiazametalmacrocyclic complexes that happen in nanoreactors on the basis of metal hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrix under their contact with water solutions containing various (N,O,S)-donor atomic ligands and organic compounds having one or two carbonyl groups have been considered in this review. It has been noted that the assortment of macrocyclic metal chelates obtained as a result of using molecular nanotechnologies in such specific conditions considerably differs from the assortment of metal chelates formed at the conditions traditional for chemical synthesis.

Abstract
Age-related bone fragility fractures present a significant problem for public health. Measures of bone quality are increasingly recognized to complement the conventional bone mineral density (BMD) based assessment of fracture risk. The ability to probe and understand bone quality at the molecular level is desirable in order to unravel how the structure of organic matrix and its association with mineral contribute to the overall mechanical properties. The (13)C{(31)P} REDOR MAS NMR (Rotational Echo Double Resonance Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) technique is uniquely suited for the study of the structure of the organic-mineral interface in bone. For the first time, we have applied it successfully to analyze the structure of intact (non-powdered) human cortical bone samples, from young healthy and old osteoporotic donors. Loading problems associated with the rapid rotation of intact bone were solved using a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) approach, and a method allowing osteoporotic samples to be balanced and spun reproducibly is described. REDOR NMR parameters were set to allow insight into the arrangement of the amino acids at the mineral interface to be accessed, and SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) was applied to enhance the signal to noise ratio and enable a better analysis of the data. From the REDOR data, it was found that carbon atoms belonging to citrate/glucosaminoglycans (GAGs) are closest to the mineral surface regardless of age or site. In contrast, the arrangement of the collagen backbone at the interface varied with site and age. The relative proximity of two of the main amino acids in bone matrix proteins, hydroxyproline and alanine, with respect to the mineral phase was analyzed in more detail, and discussed in view of glycation measurements which were carried out on the tissues. Overall, this work shows that the (13)C{(31)P} REDOR NMR approach could be used as a complementary technique to assess a novel aspect of bone quality, the organic-mineral interface structure.

Abstract
Background Identifying the molecular interactions using bioinformatics tools before venturing into wet lab studies saves the energy and time considerably. The present study summarizes, molecular interactions and binding energy calculations made for major structural protein, collagen of Type I and Type III with the chosen cross-linkers, namely, coenzyme Q10, dopaquinone, embelin, embelin complex-1 & 2, idebenone, 5-O-methyl embelin, potassium embelate and vilangin. Results Molecular descriptive analyses suggest, dopaquinone, embelin, idebenone, 5-O-methyl embelin, and potassium embelate display nil violations. And results of docking analyses revealed, best affinity for Type I (- 4.74 kcal/mol) and type III (-4.94 kcal/mol) collagen was with dopaquinone. Conclusions Among the selected cross-linkers, dopaquinone, embelin, potassium embelate and 5-O-methyl embelin were the suitable cross-linkers for both Type I and Type III collagen and stabilizes the collagen at the expected level.

Abstract
Collagen fibres in tendons and ligaments run straight but in some regions they show crimps which disappear or appear more flattened during the initial elongation of tissues. Each crimp is formed of collagen fibrils showing knots or fibrillar crimps at the crimp top angle. The present study analyzes by polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy the 3D morphology of fibrillar crimp in tendons and ligaments of rat demonstrating that each fibril in the fibrillar region always twists leftwards changing the plane of running and sharply bends modifying the course on a new plane. The morphology of fibrillar crimp in stretched tendons fulfills the mechanical role of the fibrillar crimp acting as a particular knot/biological hinge in absorbing tension forces during fibril strengthening and recoiling collagen fibres when stretching is removed. The left-handed path of fibrils in the fibrillar crimp region gives rise to left-handed fibril helices observed both in isolated fibrils and sections of different tendons and ligaments (flexor digitorum profundus muscle tendon, Achilles tendon, tail tendon, patellar ligament and medial collateral ligament of the knee). The left-handed path of fibrils represents a new final suprafibrillar level of the alternating handedness which was previously described only from the molecular to the microfibrillar level. When the width of the twisting angle in the fibrillar crimp is nearly 180 degrees the fibrils appear as left-handed flattened helices forming crimped collagen fibres previously described as planar crimps. When fibrils twist with different subsequent rotational angles (< 180 degrees ) they always assume a left-helical course but, running in many different nonplanar planes, they form wider helical crimped fibres.

Abstract
Collagen type I is a structural protein that provides tensile strength to tendons and ligaments. Type I collagen molecules form collagen fibers, which are viscoelastic and can therefore store energy elastically via molecular elongation and dissipate viscous energy through molecular rearrangement and fibrillar slippage. The ability to store elastic energy is important for the resiliency of tendons and ligaments, which must be able to deform and revert to their initial lengths with changes in load. In an earlier paper by one of the present authors, molecular modeling was used to investigate the role of mineralization upon elastic energy storage in collagen type I. Their collagen model showed a similar trend to their experimental data but with an over-estimation of elastic energy storage. Their simulations were conducted in vacuum and employed a distance-dependent dielectric function. In this study, we performed a re-evaluation of Freeman and Silver's model data incorporating the effects of explicit solvation and water infiltration, in order to determine whether the model data could be improved with a more accurate representation of the solvent and osmotic effects. We observed an average decrease in the model's elastic energy storage of 45.1%+/-6.9% in closer proximity to Freeman and Silver's experimental data. This suggests that although the distance-dependent dielectric implicit solvation approach was favored for its increased speed and decreased computational requirements, an explicit representation of water may be necessary to more accurately model solvent interactions in this particular system. In this paper, we discuss the collagen model described by Freeman and Silver, the present model building approach, the application of the present model to that of Freeman and Silver, and additional assumptions and limitations.

Abstract
Discoidin domain receptor (DDR) is a cell-surface receptor tyrosine kinase activated by the binding of its discoidin (DS) domain to fibrillar collagen. Here, we have determined the NMR structure of the DS domain in DDR2 (DDR2-DS domain), and identified the binding site to fibrillar collagen by transferred cross-saturation experiments. The DDR2-DS domain structure adopts a distorted jellyroll fold, consisting of eight beta-strands. The collagen-binding site is formed at the interloop trench, consisting of charged residues surrounded by hydrophobic residues. The surface profile of the collagen-binding site suggests that the DDR2-DS domain recognizes specific sites on fibrillar collagen. This study provides a molecular basis for the collagen-binding mode of the DDR2-DS domain.

Abstract
Structural comparisons between bacteriophage PRD1 and adenovirus have revealed an evolutionary relationship that has contributed significantly to current ideas on virus phylogeny. However, the structural organization of the receptor-binding spike complex and how the different symmetry mismatches are mediated between the spike-complex proteins are not clear. We determined the architecture of the PRD1 spike complex by using electron microscopy and three-dimensional image reconstruction of a series of PRD1 mutants. We constructed an atomic model for the full-length P5 spike protein by using comparative modeling. P5 was shown to be bound directly to the penton base protein P31. P5 and the receptor-binding protein P2 form two separate spikes, interacting with each other near the capsid shell. P5, with a tumor necrosis factor-like head domain, may have been responsible for host recognition before capture of the current receptor-binding protein P2.

Abstract
Bovine Type I collagen was investigated, building on a large scale computer model of a collagen fibril in water, and focusing on two stages of the leather manufacturing process. The effects of different salts (NaCl, CaCl(2), and Na(2)SO(4)) on the swelling behavior of collagen at low pH (the pickling process) were studied. The salts suppress the swelling of the fibrils at low pH and we find specific stabilizing influences for CaCl(2) and Na(2)SO(4), due to weak Ca(2+)/Cl(-) and strong SO(4) (2-)/lysine/arginine interactions, respectively. Using state-of-the-art sampling techniques, such as the metadynamics algorithm, to allow an efficient exploration of configuration space, we were able to investigate the effect of polyacrylate and poly(methyl acrylate) - two polymeric retanning agents - on the fibril. Both polymers interact with the ammonium groups on the surface, but polyacrylate shows significantly stronger interactions. We suggest that it is this stronger interaction that contributes to the reduced suitability of PAA as a tanning agent.

Abstract
NMR provides detailed structural information for protein complexes with molecular weights up to 30 kDa. However, it is difficult to obtain such information on larger proteins using NMR. To identify the interface of a complex with a molecular weight of over 50 kDa, chemical shift perturbation or hydrogen-deuterium (H-D) exchange experiments have been frequently used. The binding sites determined by these methods are quite similar, but not identical, to the contact surface identified by X-ray crystallography. The difference in the binding sites can be explained by the fact that the chemical shift and H-D exchange rates are affected by various factors, such as changes in the microenvironment and subtle conformational changes induced by the binding. Therefore, an alternative NMR strategy is required to identify the interaction site in large protein-protein complexes. The cross-saturation experiment is an NMR measurement for precise identification of the interface of larger protein complexes. This method extensively utilizes deuteration for proteins and the cross-saturation phenomenon along with TROSY detection. In this chapter, the principle of the cross-saturation experiment will be illustrated and then the extended version of the method, transferred cross-saturation, and its applications to larger protein complexes will be demonstrated.

Abstract
The matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)/matrixin family has been implicated in both normal tissue remodeling and a variety of diseases associated with abnormal turnover of extracellular matrix components. The mechanism by which MMPs catabolize collagen (collagenolysis) is still largely unknown. Substrate flexibility, MMP active sites, and MMP exosites all contribute to collagen degradation. It has recently been demonstrated that the ability to cleave a triple helix (triple-helical peptidase activity) can be distinguished from the ability to cleave collagen (collagenolytic activity). This suggests that the ability to cleave a triple helix is not the limiting factor for collagenolytic activity-the ability to properly orient and potentially destabilize collagen is. For the MMP family, the catalytic domain can unwind and cleave a triple-helical structure, while the C-terminal hemopexin-like domain appears to be responsible for properly orienting collagen and destabilizing it to some degree. It is also possible that exosites within the catalytic and/or C-terminal hemopexin-like domain may exclude some MMPs from cleaving collagen. Overall, it appears that many proteases of distinct mechanisms possess triple-helical peptidase activity, and that convergent evolution led to a few proteases possessing collagenolytic activity. Proper orientation and distortion of the triple helix may be the key factor for collagenolysis.

Abstract
Collagen type I displays a typical banding periodicity of 67 nm when visualized by atomic force or transmission electron microscopy imaging. We have investigated collagen fibers extracted from rat tail tendons using atomic force microscopy, under different ionic and pH conditions. The majority of the fibers reproduce the typical wavy structure with 67 nm spacing and a height difference between the peak and the grooves of at least 5 nm. However, we were also able to individuate two other banding patterns with 23+/-2 nm and 210+/-15 nm periodicities. The small pattern showed height differences of about 2 nm, whereas the large pattern seems to be a superposition of the 67 nm periodicity showing height differences of about 20 nm. Furthermore, we could show that at pH values of 3 and below the fibril structure gets dissolved whereas high concentrations of NaCl and CaCl(2) could prevent this effect.

Abstract
The range of interactions between fibre and water and the consequential properties of the bound water are modelled and examined. Dietary fibre may interact with water by means of polar and hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding and enclosure. The results of these interactions vary with the flexibility of the fibre surface. When the fibre is insoluble or junction zones are formed,this may result in profound changes in the surrounding water. Such interactions are capable of affecting the structuring and solvation properties of water well away from the immediate surfaces involved. In particular, the specific properties of water enclosed by dietary fibre are examined, an area of investigation previously receiving scant attention. The way this enclosure may affect the properties of water is exemplified by modelling the colon to show how fibre may exert a beneficial action by the preferential partitioning of hydrophobic carcinogens. Unfermented dietary fibre has a tendency to form low-density expanded water that acts as a preferential solvent for hydrophobic molecules when compared with the less-structured denser water within the much more hydrophilic mucus layer.

Abstract
Collagen type IV is a highly specialized form of collagen found only in basement membranes, where it provides mechanical stability and structural integrity to tissues and organs, and binding sites for cell adhesion. In its ubiquitous form, collagen type IV consists of two alpha1 chains and one alpha2 chain, whose internal alignment within the triple helix seems to exert a strong influence on the binding affinity to alpha1beta1 integrin receptor. This has been assessed recently using two synthetic collagen peptides that contain the cell adhesion epitope of collagen type IV and are assembled into the most plausible alpha1alpha2alpha1' and alpha2alpha1alpha1' registers. In the present study, the effects of the chain register on the stability of the triple helix and the folding kinetics of these collagen peptides were investigated by CD spectroscopy and microcalorimetry. The results revealed a multi-domain structural organization for both trimers, with an unexpected strong effect of the chain alignment on the conformational stability. Molecular dynamics simulations served to rationalize more properly the experimental results.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to characterize the interactions of selected ligand molecules with collagen structure through computer visualization of the reacting molecules and the resulting complexes. Five ligand molecules were studied. They were 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate, Glutaraldehyde-HEMA adduct, Glyceryl dimethacrylate, Methacryloyloxyethyl maleate and Acryloyloxyethyl citraconate. These ligands were selected with oxygen as a common heteroatom for a reactive or functional site. Energy minimized 3-D structures of the molecules were generated by Sybyl molecular modeling software. The structures were subjected to a systematic conformational search, yielding conformations of the molecules with a common recognition site with both steric and electrostatic complementarity to appropriate receptor sites in a type I collagen molecular structure. The ligands were also docked to collagen receptor by autodock procedures and the receptor sites where docking occurred were evaluated. The energy of the molecules and their complexes with collagen was evaluated and compared. The computer visualization results reveal that steric complementarity between receptor sites in collagen and optimally configured ligands may be the basis of micromechanical bonding between collagen and the ligands. Typically, ligands docked on the cavities of collagen molecular surface and wrapped around the cavities which follow the helical turns of the collagen macromolecule. In addition, analysis of electrostatic potential features revealed electrostatic complementarity as an additional source of interaction. Hydrogen bonds between ligands and collagen molecule were detected in the complexes of several of the conformations of all the ligands. Thus computer simulation studies show that steric and electrostatic complementarity and consequent interactions form the potential basis of binding between dentin adhesive ligands and type I collagen.

Abstract
The lateral packing of a collagen-like molecule, CH3CO-(Gly-L-Pro-L-Pro)4-NHCH3, has been examined by energy minimization with the ECEPP/3 force field. Two current packing models, the Smith collagen microfibril twisted equilateral pentagonal model and the quasi-hexagonal packing model, have been extensively investigated. In treating the Smith microfibril model, energy minimization was carried out on various conformations including those with the symmetry of equivalent packing, i.e., in which the triple helices were arranged equivalently with respect to each other. Both models are based on the experimental observation of the characteristic axial periodicity, D = 67 nm, of light and dark bands, indicating that, if any superstructure exists, it should consist of five triple helices. The quasi-hexagonal packing structure is found to be energetically more favorable than the Smith microfibril model by as much as 31.2 kcal/mol of five triple helices. This is because the quasi-hexagonal packing geometry provides more nonbonded interaction possibilities between triple helices than does the Smith microfibril geometry. Our results are consistent with recent x-ray studies with synthetic collagen-like molecules and rat tail tendon, in which the data were interpreted as being consistent with either a quasi-hexagonal or a square-triangular structure.

Abstract
The thermal stability of acid-soluble collagens was studied by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Adult bovine dermal collagen (BDC), rat-tail tendon collagen (RTC), and calf skin collagen (CSC) were compared. Despite some variability in amino acid composition and apparent molecular weight, the CD spectra for helical and unordered collagen structures were essentially the same for all the sources. The melting of these collagens occurs as a two-stage process characterized by a pretransition (Tp) followed by complete denaturation (Td). The characteristic temperatures vary with the source of the collagen; for mature collagens (BDC, RTC) Tp = 30 degrees C and Td = 36 degrees C, and for CSC Tp = 34 degrees C and Td = 40 degrees C. Neutral salts, NaCl or KCl, at low concentrations (0.02-0.2 M) appear to bind to the collagens and shift the thermal transitions of these collagens to lower temperatures.

Abstract
The asymmetric form of acetylcholinesterase comprises three catalytic tetramers attached to ColQ, a collagen-like tail responsible for the anchorage of the enzyme to the synaptic basal lamina. ColQ is composed of an N-terminal domain which interacts with the catalytic subunits of the enzyme, a central collagen-like domain and a C-terminal globular domain. In particular, the collagen-like domain of ColQ contains two heparin-binding domains which interact with heparan sulfate proteoglycans in the basal lamina. A three-dimensional model of the collagen-like domain of the tail of asymmetric acetylcholinesterase was constructed. The model presents an undulated shape that results from the presence of a substitution and an insertion in the Gly-X-Y repeating pattern, as well as from low imino-acid regions. Moreover, this model permits the analysis of interactions between the heparin-binding domains of ColQ and heparin, and could also prove useful in the prediction of interaction domains with other putative basal lamina receptors.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the recombinant 19,000 M(r) binding domain from the Staphylococcus aureus collagen adhesin has been determined at 2 A resolution. The domain fold is a jelly-roll, composed of two antiparallel beta-sheets and two short alpha-helices. Triple-helical collagen model probes were used in a systematic docking search to identify the collagen-binding site. A groove on beta-sheet I exhibited the best surface complementarity to the collagen probes. This site partially overlaps with the peptide sequence previously shown to be critical for collagen binding. Recombinant proteins containing single amino acid mutations designed to disrupt the surface of the putative binding site exhibited significantly lower affinities for collagen. Here we present a structural perspective for the mode of collagen binding by a bacterial surface protein.

Abstract
The main structural component in collagen is the triple helix which is generally composed of the amino acid sequence repeat (X-Y-Gly)n with proline and hydroxyproline often present at positions X and Y. Non-globular, fibrillar proteins like most collagens are difficult to work with from a structural perspective. An alternative approach to collagen structural elucidation is to study considerably shorter fragments of the triple helix. To date, various triple helical model peptides such as (Pro-Pro-Gly)n and (Pro-Hyp-Gly)n have been investigated by various physical and spectroscopic techniques. The advent of easy solid phase peptide synthetic methodology and the development of multi-dimensional heteronuclear and high field NMR technologies have promoted significant advances in the structure elucidation of a number of triple helix peptides. Here, the main focus is to review and to address the current state of knowledge in the field of NMR and x-ray analysis of triple helical model peptides.

Abstract
A procedure is described for constructing a three-dimensional model of fibril-forming human type II collagen based on the "Smith" microfibril model. This model is a complex of five individual collagen triple-helical molecules, and is based on known structural parameters for collagen. Both experimental and theoretical data were used as constraints to guide the modeling. The resulting fibril model for type II collagen is in agreement with both physical and chemical characteristics produced by experimental staining patterns of type II fibrils. Some advantages of the type II model are that the stereochemistry of all the sidechain groups is accounted for, and specific atomic interactions can now be studied. This model is useful for: development of therapeutics for collagen related diseases; development of synthetic collagen tissues; design of chemical reagents (i.e., tanning agents) to treat collagen-related products; and study of the structural and functional aspects of type II collagen. Described is the procedure by which the Smith microfibril of type II collagen was developed using molecular modeling tools, validation of the model by comparison to electron-microscopic images of fibril staining patterns, and some applications of this microfibril model.
