Modification of Collagen and Nylon Lattices by Resorcinol
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2019
Abstract
By soaking formalinized rat-tail tendons in 2 M resorcinol, the tendon lattice is expanded equatorially from an interplanar spacing of 11.7 Å to 14.5 Å, indicating a diameter of 7.2 Å for the spiral core of collagen. Resorcinol distorts the lattice of nylon (6:6), converting the normal triclinic cell to an orthorhombic cell whose a and b axes are approximately four times those of the original nylon and whose c axis is reduced from 17.2 to 16.5 Å.
