[Comparative x-ray study of the species specificity of collagens].
The facts of isomorphism of collagens from a variety of species have been discovered; helical unit twist and unit height are practically constant in spite of a wide variation of amino acid composition. Collagen is isomorphous to fibrous form of modelling polytripeptides, at the same time helical unit twist of crystalline forms of (Pro-Pro-Gly)10 is different (although it is possible that the disagreement between fibrous and crystalline forms is a consequence of a specific diffraction effects).
