The structure of collagen is investigated by means of an energy minimization procedure. There is a rather broad trough of potential energy which involves a variety of structures (all collagen II type). It is seen that the unit height and the unit twist can strongly deviate from 2.86 Å, 36° values. Some of the good conformations are presented.
