Ionic environment effects on collagen type II persistence length and assembly

Collagen type II is a main structural protein in cartilage and forms fibrils. The radius of the fibrils ranges from 50 nm to a few hundred nm, and previous theoretical studies point to electrostatics and collagen elasticity (measured as the persistence length, lp) as the main origin for the self-lim...
