Abstract

Collagen molecules with the chain composition [α1(III)] 3 , have been isolated from pepsin-solubilized collagen of dermis, aorta, and leiomyoma of the uterus by differential salt precipitation. On denaturation, approximately 90 percent of this collagen is recovered as a γ component (300,000 daltons)...
