I did "HYDRATION STRUCTURE OF A COLLAGEN PEPTIDE".The primary structure of collagen is triple helix. The major amino acid is acetic acid.Vitamin C plays a role in the collagen formation for hydration.When a person doesn't get enough vitamin C in their diet then they can become dehydrated and get a lot of sickness.The quaternary structure of collagen is carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen.
The main symptom of Osteogenesis Imperfecta is fragile bones that break easily.
Some other symptoms that people have with OI is muscle weakness,hearing loss,fatigue, joint laxity,curved bones,scoliosis,blue sclera,Dentinogenesis imperfecta (brittle teeth),and short stature. TypeI OI differ from the others because it is the mildest and most common form of the disorder. It also is characterized with mild bone fragility, relatively few fractures, and minimal limb deformities. A child may be average or slightly shorter-than-average as compared with unaffected family members, but is still within the normal range for the age.
There is a high incidence of hearing loss,(occurs primarily in young adulthood, but it may occur in early childhood). It is inherited from an affected parent, or in previously unaffected families, it results from a spontaneous mutation. Lastly, issues that arise with OI TypeI are joint and ligament weakness and instability, muscle weakness, the need to prevent fracture cycles, and the necessity of spine protection.
The role of collagen in bones is to make you be stable and strong. Collagen can lead to bone problems by the fibers not being strong and putting out.
