title: Fluorescence of radiation-induced collagen aggregates.
abstract: Tropocollagen shows higher ultraviolet fluorescence (emission max, about 305 nm) and lower blue fluorescence (emission max. about 420 nm) than the dimers and tetramers isolated from irradiated collagen. This indicates dityrosine structures in the radiation-induced collagen aggregates.
