Title: THERMAL TRANSITIONS IN NORMAL AND DEUTERATED RAT-TAIL TENDON, HUMAN SKIN, AND TUNA-FISH SKIN

Journal Article · · Biochim. et Biophys. Acta

The transition temperature and shrinkage temperature of collogens were determined in normal and deuterated rat-tail tendon, human skin, and tuna-fish skin. Increases were observed in the deuterated samples. Results, obtained with solid collagen, are compared with those obtained with collagen in solution. It is concluded that hydrogen bonds are involved in both reactions. (C.H.)
