Investigating the mutations and structure of short part of collagen type I in osteogenesis imperfecta type III

The extracellular matrix for connective tissues displays an abstruse alloy of changeable members of various protein families describing structural validity and different physiological functions. The most important component of extracellular matrix is collagen. Collagens’ large family in humans is co...
