Collagen synthesis: a disulfide-linked collagen precursor in chick bone. 1973

L I Fessler, and R E Burgeson, and N P Morris, and J H Fessler

Chick calvaria labeled in vitro contain a triple-stranded collagen precursor that contains two pro alpha1 and one pro alpha2 chains. All chains contain cystine and are linked by S-S bonds. Ultracentrifugal analysis was used to measure the relative size of the disulfide-linked units. It is proposed that the S-S links help to determine the correct alignment of the triple-stranded structure.

D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D002845 Chromatography Techniques used to separate mixtures of substances based on differences in the relative affinities of the substances for mobile and stationary phases. A mobile phase (fluid or gas) passes through a column containing a stationary phase of porous solid or liquid coated on a solid support. Usage is both analytical for small amounts and preparative for bulk amounts. Chromatographies
