Collagen is one of the most abundance protein in the body. There are thought to be four types of collagen in which give rise to different structures of the body (bones, tendons, cartilage, skin, basement membranes, etc.) The collagenous domains have a characteristic triple helix structure where each of the participating polypeptides are repeating Gly-X-Y sequences that either form heterotrimeric or homotrimetric L-proline helices.[1] Both eukaryotic and prokayrotic express the collagen-binding protein such as ECM (Extracellular Matrix), celluar receptors, and bacterial adhesin. | Collagen is one of the most abundance protein in the body.

When there is a cleavage in collagen due to wounds, bacteria such as ''Staphylococcus aureus'' high affinity subsegment acts as apo-protein and binds to the collagen structure. | ||
