title: Polypeptide models of collagen: synthesis of (Pro-Pro-Ala)n and (Pro-Pro-Val)n.
abstract: The synthesis of two collagen models (Pro-Pro-Ala)n and (Pro-Pro-Val)n is reported. Preliminary examination suggests that (Pro-Pro-Ala)n may exhibit some properties of collagen-like polypeptides whereas (Pro-Pro-Val)n, does not have a collagen-like character.
