Structural heterogeneity of type I collagen triple helix and its role in osteogenesis imperfecta.

TL;DR: Two large, flexible regions deduced from the ΔTm map aligned with the regions important for collagen fibril assembly and ligand binding, and one of these regions also aligned with a lethal region for Gly substitutions in the α1(I) chain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Near‐infrared fluorescent probe traces bisphosphonate delivery and retention in vivo

TL;DR: Findings support a role for FRFP as an effective in vivo marker for bisphosphonate site‐specific deposition, turnover, and long‐term retention in the skeleton.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanism of alpha 1(I)-osteogenesis imperfecta/Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: unfolding of an N-anchor domain at the N-terminal end of the type I collagen triple helix.

TL;DR: As in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) VIIA/B, fibrils containing pN-collagen are thinner and weaker causing EDS-like laxity of large and small joints and paraspinal ligaments, however, distinct structural consequences of N-anchor destabilization result in a distinct alpha1(I)-osteogenesis imperfecta (OI)/EDS phenotype.
