Collagen hybridizing peptide

A collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) is a synthetic peptide sequence with typically 6 to 10 repeating units of the Gly-Xaa-Yaa amino acid triplet, which mimics the hallmark sequence of natural collagens. A CHP peptide usually possesses a high content of proline and hydroxyproline in the Xaa and Yaa positions, which confers it a strong propensity to form the collagen's unique triple helix conformation.
