Abstract
Abstract Cyanogen bromide cleavage of insoluble newborn human skin and cartilage in 70% formic acid liberates in good yield peptides derived from collagen. Characterization of these peptides and comparison with those previously derived from soluble human skin collagen permit the identification of an additional type of collagen in skin and yet another type in cartilage. The results further indicate that the new types of collagen are comprised of chains homologous to the α1 chain of soluble human skin collagen.
