Description:
When a solution of collagen molecules, at neutral pH and moderate ionic strength, is warmed from 4 degrees to 30 degrees C, a spontaneous self-assembly process takes place in which native-type collagen fibers are produced. Events occurring during thermally induced fibrillogenesis process can be monitored, in aqueous media and in real time, by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic techniques. Tentative assignments of observed spectral bands are given.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jakobsen, R J -- Brown, L L -- Hutson, T B -- Fink, D J -- Veis, A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Jun 17;220(4603):1288-90.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6857249" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
