Gundolf Beier and Jurgen Engel abstract: The coil-helix transition of acid-soluble calfskin collagen dissolved in 0.25 m citrate buffer, pH 3.7, was studied isothermally over a temperature range of 4-30 at severalconcentrations. Recovery of negative optical rotation and viscosityand the re-formation of nativemolecules have been followedwith time. The products formed at different temperatures have been examined by ultracentrifuge analysis, pepsin attack, and by their melting behavior. It was found that a re-formation of native molecules does occur under isothermal conditions. At low renaturation temperatures, however, this reaction is suppressed by a compet-ing rapid formation of other stabilization forms. These are high molecular weight aggregates containing pepsinresistant, helical regions connected by pepsin-digestible, nonhelical chain parts. Theirformation is re-sponsible for the high and fast recovery of optical rota-tion underthose conditions. The helical regions seem to assume a collagen-like three-strand structure, but their
