Abstract
In contrast to the typical transverse banding pattern of native and reconstituted skin collagen fibrils, reconstituted fibrils of cartilage collagen have an oblique banding pattern that results from a regular axial shift (89 angstroms) of component "subfibrils." The 89-angstrom shift may be related to the major helix of the collagen molecule.Keywords
