Jiann-Jiu Wu and David R. Eyre** abstract: In mature cartilage, collagen fibrils are strengthened by covalent intermolecular bonds provided by 3-hydroxypyridinium cross-linking residues. To determine the location of these trifunctional cross-links within the type II collagen molecule, CNBr peptides were analyzed from pepsin-soluble collagen and from guanidine hydrochloride insoluble collagen of bovine articular cartilage. The presence of hy-droxypyridinium residues in collagen a chains and CNBr-derived peptides was detected by their characteristic natural fluorescence. Quantitatively, about one in three a chains from pepsin-soluble collagen was found to contain a hydroxypyridinium residue. Its distribution in the chains was limited to two CNBr peptides, which were purified by column chromatography on CM-cellulose and Bio-Gel P-30 followed by slab-gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly-acrylamide. The composition and properties of the two pep-
