Abstract
Collagen tryptic peptides obtained from the nonmineralized and mineralized compartments of diaphyseal bone have different distributions of intermolecular crosslinks. Pyridinoline, a collagen crosslink thought to be associated with chronologically older bone, was detected in peptides from nonmineralized collagen but not from mineralized collagen. Mineralization may prevent collagen maturation; conversely, pyridinoline in nonmineralized collagen may decrease the intermolecular distances among collagen chains in fibrils and preclude mineralization.Entities:
