The A and B fragments of normal type I procollagen have a similar thermal stability to proteinase digestion but are selectively destabilized by structural mutations

Constantinou-Deltas, Constantinos D.; VOGEL, B. E.; JEFFREY, J. J.; PROCKOP, D. J. (1987)

Previous studies demonstrated that the thermal stability of the procollagen triple helix can be assayed by digesting the protein for short periods with high concentrations of trypsin and chymotrypsin. Here we cleaved human ...
