The collage molecule consists of 3 polypeptide chains. The amino acids shown are proline, hydroxyproline, and glycine. To see the format open the pdb file in a text editor that will show format of all the amino acids. The three helical subunits are wound together to create a triple helix. This tightly wound molecule is the most abundant protein in the human body.
