Surfactant-induced lyotropic behavior of flexible polymer solutions
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical analysis is presented to describe the stiffening of flexible linear polymer chains due to complexation with oligomeric surfactants, which might be functionalized protonic acids or possess other types of end groups that exhibit strong, specific interactions with the flexible polymer backbone.

Proteodermatan and proteokeratan sulfate (decorin, lumican/fibromodulin) proteins are horseshoe shaped. Implications for their interactions with collagen.
TL;DR: It is proposed that decorin is a bidentate ligand attached to two parallel neighboring collagen molecules in the fibril, helping to stabilize fibrils and orient fibrillogenesis.
