Biochemical and electronmicroscopic investigations on Helix pomatia collagen.
The skin of Helix pomatia was investigated by biochemical methods and electronmicroscope. Biochemical investigations showed that Helix pomatia collagen represents a methionine-lacking collagen resistant to CNBr-cleavage. Electron microscopic studies showed a cross striation pattern of 53--57 nm.
