Collagen hydrolysis

Gelatin Natural (collagen) Hydrolysis Soluble in hot water (>34 °C), acetic acid, forms insoluble gel with water at room temperature, insoluble in organic solvents... 

Both complex coacervation and interfacial polymerization can be used to create a polymer coating. Complex coacervation involves a phase separation that results from the formation of a complex between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. At a pH below its isoelectric point gelatin, a positively charged collagen hydrolysis product has been widely used in complex coacervation with anionic species like gum Arabic, pectin and alginate. This approach has been used to prepare scratch... 

The AD, values for gelatin increase with Cp (except pH=2) (Figure 6.42e). Since gelatin is a product of collagen hydrolysis and does not possess a native conformation, its adsorptive and aggregative capabilities depend on pH weaker than that of BSA. Adsorption of gelatin occurs mainly due to formation of the hydrogen bonds with silica particles, and the number of these bonds can decrease with... 

Gelatin is a protein, made from the hydrolysis of collagen, a protein that makes up about a third of all mammalian tissue. Collagen is a key component of connective tissues, tendons, and bones. 

The properties described above have important consequences for the way in which these skeletal tissues are subsequently preserved, and hence their usefulness or otherwise as recorders of dietary signals. Several points from the discussion above are relevant here. It is useful to ask what are the most important mechanisms or routes for change in buried bones and teeth One could divide these processes into those with simple addition of new non-apatitic material (various minerals such as pyrites, silicates and simple carbonates) in pores and spaces (Hassan and Ortner 1977), and those related to change within the apatite crystals, usually in the form of recrystallization and crystal growth. The first kind of process has severe implications for alteration of bone and dentine, partly because they are porous materials with high surface area initially and because the approximately 20-30% by volume occupied by collagen is subsequently lost by hydrolysis and/or consumption by bacteria and the void filled by new minerals. Enamel is much denser and contains no pores or Haversian canals and there is very, little organic material to lose and replace with extraneous material. Cracks are the only interstices available for deposition of material. 

In addition, our results suggest that removal of hpids improves both yield characteristics and elemental characteristics. Recent work by Liden et al. (1995) suggests that the methanol-chloroform method used here is more effective than other methods, such as treatment with NaOH solution, or the maintenance of an acidic environment and ultrafiltration of products during collagen extraction. It is speculated that the presence of hpids in archaeological bone samples may interfere with the acid hydrolysis of protein during... 

All the tannins readily react with proteins, forming insoluble, stable compounds when they react with collagen, the main constituent of animal skin, they form leather, a material that is resistant to hydrolysis, oxidation, and biological attack and therefore stable to weathering and resistant to decomposition. Since tannins from different plant sources have different chemical compositions, each tannin used for tanning skin produces a leather having slightly different properties and color. Tannins that have... 

Biosynthesis and degradation of glycosaminoglycans biosynthesis of collagen, mineralization and demineralization of bone. Fatty acid synthesis and triglyceride storage in adipocytes promoted by insulin and triglyceride hydrolysis and fatty acid release stimulated by glucagon and adrenaline (epinephrine). 

Hydrolysis. To 0.50 ml of a protease solution or a dentin slice in 0.50 ml water was added 0.50 ml 12 M HCl. Nitrogen was blown over the solutions and the tubes were closed and heated at 111°C for 24 hours in a hot air oven. Aliquots were dried in triplicate in vacuo over NaOH for collagen determination and HPLC analysis. 

Reduction and hydrolysis. Reduction was necessary to stabilize the acid-labile difunctional collagen cross-links by converting A-DHENE and A-HLNL into DHLNE and HLNL, respectively. 

This enzyme [EC 3.4.24.14], also known as procollagen A-proteinase, catalyzes the hydrolysis of the A-propep-tide of the collagen chain a-l(l) at Pro—Gin and of a-2(11) chain at Ala—Gin. As a result, A-terminal propeptides of type I and II collagens are released prior to fibril assembly. However, it does not act on type III procollagen.
