About This Book
International Review of Connective Tissue Research, Volume 7 focuses on the structural aspects of the connective tissues and their compounds. This book reviews the data concerning the primary structure of collagen and explores the physical features of elastin. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the amino acid sequence of collagen. This text then examines the relationship of the structure and function of elastic tissues and reviews the usefulness of immunological methods when applied to structural studies. Other chapters consider the substantial progress in the elucidation of the antigen determinants of the collagen molecule. This book discusses as well the immunological properties of collagen that may have considerable bearing on the causes of some connective tissue diseases. The final chapter deals with the extensive investigations into glycoproteins in various connective tissues of various species at various ages. This book is a valuable resource for biochemists and physicians.
