Effect of hydrogen-bond-breaking reagent (urea) on the dimensional stability of rat tail tendon (RTT) collagen fiber
Abstract
Abstract Influence of hydrogen‐bond‐breaking reagents such as urea on shrinkage temperature, isometric tension, swelling behavior, tensile strength, and percentage extension of native rat tail tendon (RTT) were examined. The swelling behavior was observed with polarizing optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the lyotropic swelling increased the width of the fiber and was associated with the action of urea on the collagen fiber. Hydration properties led to significant variations in the swelling phenomenon. Lyotropic swelling produced opaque, limp, and flaccid fibers that did not change appreciably in length. The melting behavior and the swollen fascicles were clearly seen in scanning electron micrographs of 3 and 6M urea‐treated RTT. The reduction in the dimensional stability of native RTT collagen fiber on treatment with urea demonstrated the role of secondary structure in the dimensional stabilization of collagen. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
