Four small type I collagen CNBr peptides containing complete natural sequences were purified from bovine skin and investigated by CD and 1H- and 13C-nmr spectroscopies to obtain information concerning...
The properties of type I collagen CNBr peptides in solution were studied to investigate the molecular species formed, their conformation, and factors influencing equilibria between peptide species. Pe...
Ionic residues influence the stability of collagen triple helices and play a relevant role in the spontaneous aggregation of fibrillar collagens. Collagen types I and II and some of their CNBr peptide...
The 33-kDa matrix protein SPARC (BM-40, osteonectin) binds several collagen types with moderate affinity. The collagen-binding site resides in helix alphaA of the extracellular calcium-binding domain ...
Aim of this study was to investigate whether osteoclast activity changes as a consequence of even mild physiological perturbation of plasma calcium as such induced by an oral calcium load. Osteoclast ...
