Collegen is a polymer as it is a (very) large molecule comprised of repeating sub-units

It is one of the longest protein strands in the human body and often binds to other collegen molecules forming collagen helices and other helices forming a 'super helix'


This helps give collagen it's properties and has extremely varied functions in the cell and extra cellular matrix depending on its arrangement of amino acids
