본문내용

Biopolymers are polymers formed in nature during the growth cycles of all organisms; hence, they are also referred as natural or biological polymers.
The most prevalent structural biopolymers are the polysaccharide cellulose in higher plants and protein collagen in animals.
Collagens
Collagens are a family of structurally related proteins, which occur in all animals and are most abundant proteins in vertebrates.
Collagens are composed of three polypeptide chains wound in to triple helix.
Collagen occur as supermolecular assemblies, with the attachment of macromolecules, glycoproteins hydrated polymers, inorganic ions and cells.
