Abstract

A paper explores properties, structure and characteristics of collagen. The molecule of this protein is an important part of connective tissues, bones, skin and the walls of blood vessel. The types of collagen and their structure are also discussed. Diseases and genetic defects that are connected with the problems of collagen synthesis in the human body are examined. Special attention is paid to the Marfan's syndrome as one of the most common diseases connected with collagen synthesis.
