| Abstract: | In this paper we demonstrate that DNA binds to collagen directly to form DNA–collagen complex. Our model suggests that DNA, containing well-arranged phosphate groups, helps the collagen to make ordered aggregates—fibrils. During this process hydration shell of collagen triple helix destroys and stabilizes hydration shell of ds-DNA. |
