Explain why the quaternary structure of collagen makes it a suitable molecule for a tendon?

In hemoglobin, 4 subunits associate by noncovalent interactions.
In collagen, three chains associate in a triple helix by noncovalent interactions and the triplet helices are covalently cross linked by a series of reactions including lysine residues being converted to hydroxylysine by the action of ascorbic acid (vitamin C). The loss of this reaction is the cause of connective tissue breakdown in scurvy.

∙ 12y agoWell, the primary structure of collagen is made up of a chain of repeating triplets (usually Gly-Pro-Hyp). Then, collagen is made up of three alpha helical chains that form a triple helix when interacting with one another.

It depends on the molecular weight and 3-D structure of the polymer.
Why rectangular box shaped cells is suitable for palisade messophyll cells?
Rectangular box shaped cells are suitable for palisade messophyll cells because it fits with their overall structure. This allows them to fully grow and develop without any ill effects.

What are the use of graphene structure for antibacterial devices?
Have great chemistry and structure for molecule antibacterial devices. Graphene electrodes are significantly more suitable for conductivity. Tissue engineering It has been used to improve the properties of degradable nanocomposites for engineering bone tissue applications.Dispersion of low weight increased overall properties of nanocomposites. The use of graphene nanoparticles lead to improvements in the density of the nanocomposite and better load of the nanomaterial thereby increasing the properties.
What is difference aqueduct and siphon?
The hydraulic structure in which irrigation canal is passing over the drainage is known as aqueduct. This structure is suitable when bed of canal is above the highest flood level of drainage. while The hydraulic structure in which the drainage is taken over the irrigation canal, but the canal water passes below the drainage under siphonic action is known as siphon super passage. This structure is suitable when the bed level of drainage is below the full supply level of the canal. Farhad Ahmadzi
