Uptake of Water by Collagen in Solutions of Alkalis and Strong and Weak Organic Bases

Uptake of Water by Collagen in Solutions of Alkalis and Strong and Weak Organic Bases

The swelling of collagen and other structured proteins in solutions of strong acids takes place in accordance with the Donnan theory of membrane equilibrium1,2,3. Lyotropic effects of anions4,5 and effects due to fixation of the anions by the protein6,7,8 can also be observed.
