A cysteine-based molecular code informs collagen C-propeptide assembly

Collagen proteins assemble into trimers from distinct monomers with high specificity, yet the molecular basis for this specificity remains unclear. Here the authors demonstrate the crucial role of conserved C-terminal domain cysteine residues and calcium in homotrimeric procollagen assembly.
