- Letter from Dr. Richard E. Marsh to Dr. Richard S. Bear, Biology Dept., MIT, RE: Gives parameters for the proposed collagen structure. Would like to mention that although the helix repeats after ten units, the parameters have been tabulated for eleven units. Also, atoms labeled in a certain manner refer to the hydroxyl oxygens of the hydroxyproline residues. Since collagen contains less hydroxyproline than proline, these oxygen atoms should be included for only about four of the ten units.
