Fig. 6: Molecular models of crosslinked collagens type I and III.
From: Discovery of mammalian collagens I and III within ancient poriferan biopolymer spongin
Each row displays a different system: a noXlink, b 1Br, c 2Br, and d 3Br. The column on the left shows 3D visualizations of the crosslinks (bromide atoms in magenta). The middle and right columns show the side and top view, respectively, of measured terminal distances (nm) at the C-N and N-C ends (left and right terminals of the molecules, respectively). COL-I is displayed in blue/cyan, and COL-III in orange/red.
