FIGURE 1 Diagrammatic representation of the configuration of polypeptide chains in the collagengelatin three-chain helix. from cis amide groups alone. However, a satisfactory structure, described in detail in the following paragraphs, has been formulated with use of poly-peptide chains in which there is an alternation of two cis groups andone trans group, as shown in figures 1 and 2. The angular orientation which the trans group is required to assume by its bonds with the contiguous cis groups is such as to cause its component of length along the fiber axis to be about 2.92 A, the average fiber-axis length per residue for the cis-cis-trans chain thus being 2.86 A, as observed for the collagen fibers. Let us now consider the folding of the cis-cis-trans chain in such a way as to form satisfactory hydrogen bonds. The ease of lateral swelling of
