Abstract:
The triple-helical structure of collagen has been accurately reproduced in numerous chemical and recombinant model systems. Triple-helical peptides have found application for dissecting collagen-stabilizing forces, isolating receptor and protein binding sites in collagen, evaluating collagen-mediated cell signaling activities, mechanistic examination of collagenolytic proteases, and developing novel biomaterials and drug delivery vehicles. Due to their inherent stability to general proteolysis, triple-helical peptides present an opportunity as in vivo inhibitory agents. The present chapter provides methods for the construction of collagen-based triple-helical peptides designed as matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors.
