HYDROXYPROLINE

is a major component of the protein

collagen, comprising roughly 13.5% of
mammalian collagen.
PROLINE
Hydroxyproline and Proline play key
roles for collagen stability. They permit
the sharp twisting of the collagen helix.
GLYCINE
The side chain of glycine, an H atom, is
the only one that can fit into the crowded
center of a three-stranded helix.
