Collagen is a natural type of protein in the body that forms the connective tissues that hold skin, bone, tendons, muscle, and cartilage together.Collagen is so important in the way our skin looks and feels because it is the main structural component providing firmness and shape. Skin care formulas with animo acids like L-arginine and L-glutamine can help boost collagen production. 2  A 2005 study, for instance, found that topical L-arginine increased collagen production and encouraged faster wound-healing.
Collagen Introduction. Collagen, which is the most abundant protein in mammals, is also the main fibrous component of skin, bone, tendon, cartilage, and teeth. Humans' dry weight of skin are made up of over 1/3 collagen. This extracellular protein is a rod-shaped molecule, about 3000 A Ã¥ long and only 15 a Ã¥. in diameterigher-Order collagen Structure. Collagen is made up hieracharcal components from the smaller units of individual TC monomers that self assemble into the macromolecular fibers. In type 1 collagen, monomers make up microfibrils which then make up fibris.
