First, a three-dimensional stranded structure is assembled, with the amino acids glycine and proline as its principal components. This is not yet collagen but its precursor, procollagen. Procollagen is then modified by the addition of [[hydroxyl]] groups to the amino acids [[proline]] and [[lysine]]. This step is important for later [[glycosylation]] and the formation of the triple helix structure of collagen. Because the [[hydroxylase]] enzymes that perform these reactions require [[vitamin C]] as a cofactor, a long-term deficiency in this vitamin results in impaired collagen synthesis and [[scurvy]]. and [[lysyl hydroxylase]]. The reaction consumes one ascorbate molecule per hydroxylation.</div>FuzzyBot
