Figure 3-32Contrast between collagen and elastin

(A) Collagen is a triple helix formed by three extended protein chains that wrap around each other. Many rodlike collagen molecules are cross-linked together in the extracellular space to form inextensible collagen fibrils ( top) that have the tensile strength of steel. (B) Elastin polypeptide chains are cross-linked together to form elastic fibers. Each elastin molecule uncoils into a more extended conformation when the fiber is stretched. The striking contrast between the physical properties of elastin and collagen is due entirely to their very different amino acid sequences.

Figure 19-50Stretching a network of elastin molecules

The molecules are joined together by covalent bonds (indicated in red) to generate a cross-linked network. In the model shown each elastin molecule in the network can expand and contract as a random coil, so that the entire assembly can stretch and recoil like a rubber band.

Figure 3-28Collagen and elastin

(A) Collagen is a triple helix formed by three extended protein chains that wrap around one another (bottom). Many rodlike collagen molecules are cross-linked together in the extracellular space to form unextendable collagen fibrils (top) that have the tensile strength of steel. The striping on the collagen fibril is caused by the regular repeating arrangement of the collagen molecules within the fibril. (B) Elastin polypeptide chains are cross-linked together to form rubberlike, elastic fibers. Each elastin molecule uncoils into a more extended conformation when the fiber is stretched and recoils spontaneously as soon as the stretching force is relaxed.
