connective tissue in animals is composed of many different proteins including collagen. Collagen is a protein that is composed of 3 left handed alpha helices interwoven with one another, which gives it great strength. Collagen is a rare example of a left handed alpha helix, and is thought to occur as such due to the post translational hydroxylation of the proline residues (proline typically does not occur in alpha helices because it distorts the helix).
