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

T he swelling of collagen and other structured proteins in solutions of strong acids takes place in accordance with the Donnan theory of membrane equilibrium 1,2,3 . Lyotropic effects of anions 4,5 and effects due to fixation of the anions by the protein 6,7,8 can also be observed.
