## Abstract The D/L ratio of aspartic acid enantiomers in proteins of low turnover is generally accepted as a reliable procedure for age determination. In our study, twelve samples of eyetooth dentin were analyzed for age determination. The pure insoluble collagen isolated from eyetooth dentin was
Hypertrophic scarring is characterized by disordered collagen fibrils. In order to determine whether this is, in part, a result of changes in the population of proteoglycans that are thought to be involved in regulation of collagen fibril formation, we have compared PGs from post-bum normal and hype
