## Abstract The interaction of water with collagenous tissue was investigated using dynamic mechanical spectroscopy and cryogenic Xโray techniques. The loss spectrum was found to be very sensitive to water which is highly associated with the macromolecule. Two waterโsensitive loss peaks were observ

## Abstract The spinโlattice relaxation time (__T__~1~) of water adsorbed on collagen fibers was determined at six frequencies and temperatures varying from 25ยฐ to โ80ยฐC. Care was taken to eliminate the contributions to the signal of protons other than those in the adsorbed water. Quantitative calc
## Abstract The influence of hydration of ratโtail tendons has been studied by measuring the heat involved in the water fixation deplending on the degree of hydration. The modulus and damping dependences have been measured when changing the temperature for different water uptakes. __In situ__ hydra
The dependence of the proton spin-lattice relaxation rate, and of the enthalpy and temperature of denaturation on water content, were studied by nmr and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in native and denatured collagen. Collagen was first heated at four different temperatures ranging from 40
Water proton transverse relaxation times (T 2 ) and self-diffusion coefficients (D) were measured in randomly oriented hydrated collagen fibers. Three T 2 relaxation times were discerned indicating the presence of at least three water fractions in the collagen sample. The D values associated with ea
