Fibrous proteins form due to crosslinks between collagen molecules (myosin and actin). Collagen consists of 3 helical polypeptides wound around each other to form a rope-like structure. Every third amino acid in each polypeptide is a glycine molecule where hydrogen bonding occurs, holding three strands together.
