✦ Synopsis


The staining behaviour ofvanadyl sulphate was studied using reconstituted collagen fibrils as a model system and comparing electron-optical data and collagen sequence data by a computer-aided correlation procedure. The results show that, under the conditions used, vanadyl sulphate stains both negatively and positively charged side-chains on the collagen. Other evidence suggests that vanadyl sulphate is an effective electron stain.

Collagen is used as a model system to study the structural effects ofthe fixative dimethylsuberimidate (DMS) on a protein. Using reconstituted fibrils of type I calf skin collagen (of known amino acid sequence), electron-optical data from positive staining patterns were compared with chemical data b
