Mutagenesis investigation of the molecular determinants of collagen triple helicase activity in neutrophil collagenase (MMP-8)
Collagen is a triple helical macromolecule that is one of the most complex proteins of the extracellular matrix and one of the most difficult to cleave and degrade. The physiological turnover of collagen is important for growth and repair, with abnormal breakdown of collagen contributing to numerous...
