Notes:
A dilatometric technique is employed to measure the volume changes occurring on denaturation of collagen solutions and tendons. Partial specific volumes of tropocollagen are calculated to be 0.686 ml./g. in water and 0.689 ml/g in 0.1M citrate buffer. From data on non-aqueous solutions, it is estimated that most of the volume change arises from changes in polymer configuration rather than from changes in solvation.
