Abstract
Chick calvaria labeled in vitro contain a triple-stranded collagen precursor that contains two pro alpha1 and one pro alpha2 chains. All chains contain cystine and are linked by S-S bonds. Ultracentrifugal analysis was used to measure the relative size of the disulfide-linked units. It is proposed that the S-S links help to determine the correct alignment of the triple-stranded structure.Entities:
