The influence of UV radiation on the shape of infrared spectra of collagen from a rat tail tendon was studied. The spectra were resolved into Gaussian components by means af an iterative computer program. Characteristic absorption peaks for the resolved components were obtained. After UV irradiation the infrared amide bands of collagen were shifted to lower frequencies. This indicates that structural changes in this protein take place.Changes of absorbance of the components bands, under UV irradiation, point to the loss of water bonded to collagen, degradation of main chains with scission of the amide, CH2-N, =CH2 and C=O bonds, abstraction of the side groups as COOH, C=O, COO-, and change of the ratio of the helical to the coil conformation of collagen molecules.IR analysis may provide some information about the photochemical transformations in collagen, although they occur with rather low efficiency.
