Protocollagen, a non-hydroxylated form of collagen, was extracted with cold 0.1 N acetic acid from embryonic tendon cells incubated with α,α′-dipyridyl and the protein was purified by controlled proteolytic digestion. The resulting modified protocollagen was shown to consist of polypeptides the same size as α1 and α2 chains of collagen and had a thermal transition by optical rotation similar to collagen. The Tmhowever was 24°, a value which was 15° lower than the Tmof an hydroxylated form of collagen from the same source. The results suggest that hydroxylated proline increases the thermal stability of collagen.
