## Abstract The electrical conductivity of bovine Achilles tendon with various amounts of adsorbed water was measuredas a function of temperature. The conduction appeared to be fully determined by the water of hydration. The current is probably primarily carried by protons at water contents up to 4

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Determinations of the amount of bound water in hydrated proteins yield strongly diverging values. The cause of this is the continuity of the transition from bound to free water, and the diffeernt sensitivities to water structure of the measuring techniques. Only the methods that aim at the determination of the amount of water, whose phase remians unchanged duing freezing, yield similar values. The value for collagen as deduced from conductivity data is about 50% water of the dry weight. It is believed that this water interacts with adsorptive groups on the macromolecules, whereas the freezable water occurs in capillaries.

## Abstract The dc conductivity of hydrated bovine Achilles' tendon collagen has been determined as a function of hydration over a limited temperature range. At ambient temperature the conductivity changes from 10^โ15^ (ฮฉ cm)^โ1^ in the dry state to about 10^โ8^ (ฮฉ cm)^โ1^ at โผ24% water content by
