Crystal Structure of Collagen Adhesin and Collagen Complex
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.

Function
Disease
Collagen-binding proteins(CBP) such as ECM (Extracellular Matrix) can be degrade via invasive pathogenic breach the basal lamina. Degradation of ECM can leads to major loss of mechanical containment molecules that protects the tissues from further pathogens. Furthermore, the pathogen will then degrade the interstitial space and connective tissues via ECM degrading proteases and/or the surface-bound plasminogen and matrix metalloprotein from the host. The adhesin of bac
