As an alternative biopolymer material without the risks of the use of animal-derived collagens in soft tissue engineering applications, recombinant human collagen has been widely used in cosmetic, biomedical industry, and functional food. In addition to the recombinant human collagen products, Alfa Chemistry is also dedicated to the scientific study of collagens. Click the links below to learn more.

Structure of Collagen

The collagen molecule is comprised of a triple helical region and two nonhelical regions at either end of the helix.
