“…In bone, groups of five triple helical collagen molecules form microfibrils. The microfibrils are spontaneously organized into fibrils and fibers that can be up to 1 cm in length and 1 mm in diameter and with the characteristic 67 nm banding feature, called the D-period [ 31 , 32 ]. The hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocrystals are deposited by osteoblasts on the collagen fibrils, constituting the inorganic and organic phases of the bone matrix.…”

“…Maturation is characterized by the removal of non-collagenous propeptides by procollagen amino and carboxy proteases, originating an alpha chain measuring 1.25 nm wide and 300 nm long with a mass of 285 kDa [22]. Five of these parallel chains form a microfibril 1 cm long and 1 mm in diameter with 67 nm bands, where the deposition of hydroxyapatite, the main inorganic constituent of the osteoid matrix secreted by osteoblasts, subsequently occurs [23]. Despite significant advances in collagen synthesis and purification processes, there is still no scaffold that fully reproduces the properties of the native protein; there are some minimal differences remaining in its structure [24] and it is susceptible to hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation if it comes into contact with body fluid [25].…”
