Mechanical properties of collagen fibrils.
The formation of collagen fibers from staggered subfibrils still lacks a universally accepted model. Determining the mechanical properties of single collagen fibrils (diameter 50-200 nm) provides new insights into collagen structure. In this work, the reduced modulus of collagen was measured by nanoindentation using atomic force microscopy. For individual type 1 collagen fibrils from rat tail, ...
متن کاملThe Structure of Collagen Molecules and Fibrils
Following the suggestion of triple-collagen (Ramachandran and Kartha, chain models for the helical molecules of 1955), improved similar structures were
متن کاملNature designs tough collagen: explaining the nanostructure of collagen fibrils.
Collagen is a protein material with superior mechanical properties. It consists of collagen fibrils composed of a staggered array of ultra-long tropocollagen (TC) molecules. Theoretical and molecular modeling suggests that this natural design of collagen fibrils maximizes the strength and provides large energy dissipation during deformation, thus creating a tough and robust material. We find th...
متن کاملCollagen Fibrils within the Renal Glomerulus
The fine structure of the frog glomerulus has been described in detail by Pak Poy (2); the present observations confirm his findings as far as its principal structure is concerned. He pointed out that the main morphological difference between the frog glomerulus and those of mammals is in the basement membrane, that is, the structure between endothelial and epithelial (podo-cyte) cells. Beneath...
متن کاملTension tests on mammalian collagen fibrils.
A brief overview of isolated collagen fibril mechanics testing is followed by presentation of the first results testing fibrils isolated from load-bearing mammalian tendons using a microelectromechanical systems platform. The in vitro modulus (326 ± 112 MPa) and fracture stress (71 ± 23 MPa) are shown to be lower than previously measured on fibrils extracted from sea cucumber dermis and tested ...
