The complete amino acid sequence of the 279-residue CNBr peptide CB8 from the alpha 1 chain of type I calf skin collagen is presented. It was determined by sequencing overlapping fragments of CB8 produced by Staphylococcus aureus V8 proteinase, trypsin, Endoproteinase Arg-C and hydroxylamine. Tryptic cleavages were also made specific for lysine by blocking arginine residues with cyclohexane-1,2-dione. This completes the amino acid sequence analysis of the 1054-residues-long alpha (I) chain of calf skin collagen.

The interaction of blood platelets with collagen is the trigger of haemostasis and, at least partly, of thrombosis. Two types of fibrillar collagens (type I and type III), present in the vessel wall, can induce the adhesion of blood platelets. This study was designed to determine which part of their molecule is involved in that phenomenon. We then devised a quantitative test based upon differential filtration of non adhesive and adhesive 14c serotonin labeled platelets through a sepharose column for the evaluation of platelet adhesion to collagen or collagen derivatives. No differences were observed in the adhesive properties of calf-skin type I and type III collagens when the degree of multimerisation was identical. Isolated alpha 1 (I) and alpha 2 chains were not active ; but platelets adhered to reassociated (alpha .1 (I))3 trimers, not to (alpha 2)3 trimers ; in type I collagen, alpha 1 chains seems to have the most essential role for platelet adhesion. Various cyanogen bromide peptides were tested : only the 217 C-terminal amino acids alpha 1 CB6 from type I and the 149 central amino acids alpha 1 CB4 from type III were active.The adhesive properties of collagen seems then associated with chemical groupings localized in these peptides : a random folding of the entire isolated chains could make these “sites” unavailable to the platelets, whereas in the triple helix characteristic of fibrillar trimers, they would be more accessible. This could explain why fibrils and small peptides are active, while isolated chains are not.

The fixative behavior of glutaraldehyde/dimethyl suberimidate in combination was studied using reconstituted fibrils of type I calf skin collagen as a model system and comparing electron-optical data and chemical data by a computer-aided correlation procedure. The results confirm that the structural preservation of collagen obtained using prefixation in glutaraldehyde followed by dimethyl suberimidate fixation is less than when using dimethyl suberimidate and postfixation in glutaraldehyde. Furthermore, glutaraldehyde preserves the structure of collagen to a lesser degree than dimethyl suberimidate. With the combination of the two fixatives, the preservation of fine structure of collagen obtained is less than that when using dimethyl suberimidate alone.

Type I collagen was isolated from calf skin and its assembly on PVA film induced by glutaraldehyde vapor was investigated. It was found that the collagen molecules were firstly orientationally assembled into collagen fibers under the inducement of glutaraldehyde vapor. Then the collagen fibers could be further aggregated into novel network structure in proper conditions of the induced reaction. The morphology of the assembled collagen fibers was depended on induced time and concentration of collagen. The network arrangement could be obtained after being induced for 72h when collagen concentration was 2.5mg/ml. At higher concentration of collagen (5 mg/ml), the collagen fibers with larger dimension were obtained, but the growth of fibers was almost in one direction.
