Studies on Elastoidin-III

Protein Components of Soluble Elastoidin

Abstract

1. An acid soluble protein of elastoidin fiber is composed of two components a soluble collagen (20%) and a collagen-noncollagenous protein complex (80%).
2. The collagen complex is assumed to be a cross-linked protein with considerably high molecular weight, because of its high thermostability and the weight ratio of collagen and noncollagenous protein is about 1:2.
