Dynamic light scattering has been used to characterize a variety of lathyritic rat skin collagen solutions. The technique was used to monitor the onset of fibril assembly in vitro and to investigate the thermal memory effect. Although the incorporation of thermal memory was demonstrated by reheating the sample and subsequently observing a shortened turbidimetric lag phase, no significant differences between naive solutions and ones exhibiting thermal memory could be detected using photon correlation spectroscopy. This suggests that subtle changes in the state of the collagen molecules rather than extensive changes in the degree of aggregation are responsible for the thermal memory effect. During fibrillogenesis, no large-scale changes in the distribution of monomers or aggregates occur until near the end of the lag phase.
