Using atomic force microscopy, scientists found that cysteines in collagen IV form bonds that help it resist heat and refold, highlighting a key feature of connective tissue. Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) are gaining new insights into one of collagen’s most puzzling characteristics. In a recent study, physics professor Nancy Forde and postdoctoral researcher […]
