Stability of collagen during denaturation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The stability of calf skin collagen (CSC) type I during thermal and chemical denaturation in the presence of glycerol was investigated. Thermal denaturation of type I collagen was performed in the presence of glycerol or in combination with urea and sodium chloride. The denaturation curves obtained in the presence of urea or sodium chloride retained their original shape without glycerol. These curves were shifted upward proportionally to the glycerol concentration in the reaction medium. This means that glycerol and the denaturants act independently. The explanation is based on the difference in the mechanism of their action on the collagen molecule.

DSC Study of Collagen in Disc Disease
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been used to estimate the effect of disc disease on the collagen helix-coil transition and morphology for tissue extracted from patients during surgical operation. Forty discs were obtained from patients with degenerative disc disease undergoing surgery for low back pain. The patients were in the age between 20 and 70 years old. The specimens were kep...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanism for the Phylogenetic Change of Thermostability of Fibril-Forming Collagen. Evidence that (Gly-X-Hyp) Triplets are Main Factors Determining Stability of Collagen
Published data relating the concentration of 4-hydroxyproline residues to the stability of collagen was used to estimate the different effects of two types of triplets: (Gly-X-Hyp) and (Gly-Pro-Hyp). The data comprised mainly fibril-forming collagens, which exhibit highly cooperative helix-coil transitions at temperatures that are remarkably close to body temperature. A wide range of denaturati...

Thermal denaturation of a-Lactalbumin in the absence and presence of various concentrations of sucrose,sorbitol, glucose and galactose as sugar osmolytes were measured by monitoring changes in the absorptions thatcarried out in a Lambd 35 UV-Vis double beam spectrophotometer at pH 6.0. These measurements gave valuesof T., (midpoint of denaturation), AH., (enthalpy change at T.), and ACp (consta...
متن کاملGlucose stabilizes collagen sterilized with gamma irradiation.
Gamma irradiation sterilization (gamma-irradiation) fragments and denatures collagen, drastically decreasing critical physical properties. Our goal was to maintain strength and stability of gamma-irradiated collagen by adding glucose, which in theory can initiate crosslink formation in collagen during exposure to gamma-irradiation. Collagen films prepared with and without glucose were gamma-irr...
