| Abstract | Collagen-based biomaterials are expected to become a useful matrix substance for various biomedical applications in the future. By taking advantage of the crystallographic data of the triple-helical peptide T3-785, a collagen-like peptide whose homotrimeric structure presents large conformational similarity to the human type III collagen, we present a quantum biochemistry study to unveil its detailed binding energy features, taking into account the inter-chain interaction energies of 90 amino acid residues distributed into three interlaced monomers. Our theoretical model is based on the density functional theory (DFT) formalism within the molecular fragmentation with conjugate caps (MFCC) approach. We predict the individual relevance (energetically) of the amino acid triplets Pro–Hyp–Gly, Ile–Thr–Gly, Ala–Arg–Gly and Leu–Gly–Ala, as well as the influence of the N-terminal, central and C-terminal regions, looking for the integrity of the collagen's triple helix. We found that the amino acid residues comprising the peptide T3-785 have an interaction energy that depends not only on the chemical nature of the side chain, but also the surrounding solvent molecules and inter-chain intermolecular interactions. The energy profile of this collagen-model molecule depicts a character essentially attractive to its conformational stability, encouraging research focusing on the development and synthesis of artificial collagen with high stability for bioengineering applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
