Collagen is a protein. Proteins are chains of amino acids. However the sequence of amino acids in a protein is not random. Each amino acid must be in the correct position for the protein to carry out its function. In fact, the amino acid sequence in proteins is so important that the information needed to link amino acids together in the right order is carried in the genes. So, "glycine at position 988" means that the 988th amino acid in the chain is glycine.
