1. Collagen was extracted from chick skin with dilute acetic acid followed by dilute acetic acid containing pepsin. 2. The solubilized collagens were purified and portions subjected to further digestion by pepsin. 3. This treatment decreased the aldehyde content but contamination by hexosamine was not diminished. 4. Pepsin treatment converted practically all the acid-soluble collagen into monomeric subunits (α-chains), but the pepsinsolubilized material retained a significant amount of higher subunits (β- and γ-chains). 5. Treatment lowered the rate of fibrillogenesis by acid-soluble collagen, but was without effect on pepsin-solubilized collagen.

1. A study has been made of the effect of ultraviolet irradiation on the conformational changes taking place in cooled solutions of thermally denatured acid-soluble calf-skin collagen. 2. The increase in negative rotation and viscosity at 15° for irradiated and thermally denatured collagen solutions becomes less as the irradiation dose is increased. 3. The principal effect of ultraviolet irradiation is the fission of the primary collagen chains, eventually yielding chain lengths incapable of stabilizing a helical structure. 4. The effects of ultraviolet irradiation on acid-soluble collagen may be closely correlated with similar effects on neutral salt-soluble collagen.

Pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC) was successfully extracted from the skin of Amiurus nebulosus. The skin of Amiurus nebulosus was immersed in 0.3 mol/L acetic acid (1: 20, m: V) for 6 h at 37°C, while pepsin was added, at a level of 5000U/g dosage of defatted skin. The maximal yield of the collagen was 97.44%, which was higher than that of acid-soluble collagen (ASC) at 62.05%. Some properties of pepsin-soluble collagens from the skin of Amiurus nebulosus were characterized. Amino acid composition and SDS-PAGE suggested that the collagen might be classified as type I collagen. Moreover, FTIR investigations showed the existence of helical arrangements in PSC of Amiurus nebulosus skin of collagen. There is a possibility to use Amiurus nebulosus skin collagen as an alternative source of collagen for industrial purposes and subsequently it may maximize the economical value of the fish.

Marine collagen is gaining vast interest because of its high biocompatibility and lack of religious and social restrictions compared with collagen from terrestrial sources. In this study, lizardfish (Synodus macrops) scales were used to isolate acid-soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC). Both ASC and PSC were identified as type I collagen with intact triple-helix structures by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and spectroscopy. The ASC and PSC had high amino acids of 237 residues/1000 residues and 236 residues/1000 residues, respectively. Thus, the maximum transition temperature (Tmax) of ASC (43.2 °C) was higher than that of PSC (42.5 °C). Interestingly, the Tmax of both ASC and PSC was higher than that of rat tail collagen (39.4 °C) and calf skin collagen (35.0 °C), the terrestrial collagen. Solubility tests showed that both ASC and PSC exhibited high solubility in the acidic pH ranges. ASC was less susceptible to the “salting out” effect compared with PSC. Both collagen types were nontoxic to HaCaT and MC3T3-E1 cells, and ASC was associated with a higher cell viability than PSC. These results indicated that ASC from lizardfish scales could be an alternative to terrestrial sources of collagen, with potential for biomedical applications.

Tuna skin, a byproduct of the fish processing industry, is used as an alternative collagen source to replace bovine and porcine products. This study aimed to extract collagen from tuna skin with acetic acid, and investigated the antioxidant activity. Collagen extraction was carried out through a pretreatment process, defatted with butyl alcohol, and soaking in acetic acid to extract the Acid Soluble Collagen (ASC). The effect of concentration of sodium hydroxide and soaking time on the non-collagenous protein removed were measured, and evaluated. The yield and antioxidant activity of each sample were evaluated and the best result was determined by ANOVA. The highest yield of collagen was 3.18% based on dry weight reached at the treatment with sodium hydroxide 0.2 M and acetic acid 1 M. The different treatments did not result in any significant differences in the spectrum of amide A, B, I, II and III which are the characteristics spectra of collagen. Based on the electrophoretic pattern, tuna skin collagen has two  chains (1 and 2), and one β chain. Therefore, it is classified as type I collagen. The main amino acids were glycine and proline. In addition, the strongest antioxidant activity was found in the sample treated with sodium hydroxide 0.05 M and acetic acid 1 M treatment with IC50 value of 0.45 mg/mL. This study is the first to report on antioxidant activity from fish collagen (not hydrolysate or peptide products).

1. Salt-soluble rat skin collagen was precipitated from solution at neutral pH and 37°. On cooling, a portion of the collagen returned into solution. The fractions were separated, the supernatant was concentrated and the precipitate was redissolved in dilute acetic acid. 2. Solutions of supernatant and precipitate were subjected to the same fractionation procedure, giving four fractions. 3. Each fraction was examined by starch-gel electrophoresis and a relationship between subunit composition and the fractionation procedure was noted. The collagen that redissolved on cooling contained less of the more highly cross-linked components than did either the fraction remaining in the precipitate or the starting material.

1. The effect of ultraviolet irradiation on acid-soluble and neutral-salt-soluble calf-skin collagen was studied by chromatography, gel filtration, amino acid analysis and sedimentation of the sub-units, and the reaction kinetics of degradation were obtained from viscosity and optical rotation measurements. 2. It was demonstrated that, whereas the structure of neutral-salt-soluble calf-skin collagen may be represented by the formula (alpha(1))(2)alpha(2), the acid-soluble extract has the formula alpha(1).(alpha(2))(2). The acid-soluble collagen is also unusual in containing a large amount of a component that could be beta(22). 3. Ultraviolet irradiation causes the progressive degradation of the collagen molecule into smaller molecular fragments that subsequently lose their helical nature. The rate constants show that the denaturation of soluble collagens by ultraviolet irradiation is much slower, under the conditions used, than denaturation by heat or enzymes.

Waste of parang parang fish (Chirocentrus dorab) skin can be used as a source of collagen. Collagen isolation can be done chemically by the Acid Soluble Collagen (ASC) method. The objective of this research was to isolate collagen with ASC method and characterize their physicochemical. Collagen isolation consisted of pretreatment and hydrolysis with acids. The pretreatment used NaOH 0.1 M for 12 hours, while hydrolysis used acetic acid 0.5 M. Pretreatment results indicated that the concentration of non-collagen protein was 0.1243 mg/mL, while the yield collagen was 2.61%. The collagen had the viscosity of 6.50 cP, the denaturation temperature of 4°C, the transition temperature of 77.30°C, and the melting temperature of 153.90°C. The obtained collagen also had pH of 6.25. The fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra analysis showed the collagen contained amide A (3425.58), B (2924.09), I (1647.21), II (1543.05), and III (1246.02) (cm-1). The collagen also contained glycine (26.69%), proline (12.24%) and alanine (9.51%).

The effects of guanidinium salts in decreasing the renaturation rate and lowering the thermal stability of acid-soluble calf-skin collagen have been compared with those of formamide and urea. With the exception of guanidinium sulphate at higher concentrations, no qualitative differences were apparent in the effects of these perturbants, which thus differed only in molar activity. Activity variation in the guanidinium salts reflected a net effect resulting from additivity of cation and anion contributions. As observed in other protein systems, lyotropic activity increased in the series formamide<urea<guanidinium ion, and in the guanidinium salts in the anion order fluoride<sulphate<chloride<bromide<nitrate<iodide. Low activities of guanidinium fluoride and sulphate were attributable to counter-effects of the anions, which acted as structural stabilizers. Changes in renaturation kinetics induced by either temperature or added perturbants appeared to conform with the Flory–Weaver model for the collagen transition. Additivity and non-specificity of the observed effects are discussed with particular reference to a common mechanism involving weak, non-saturated binding of perturbants at protein peptide groups.

AbstractPepsin is widely used for the extraction of pepsin-solubilized collagens (PSC) from many resources. PSC-A and PSC-P were prepared from carp skin using 0.1 mol L−1 acetic acid and 0.02 mol L−1 Na2HPO4 (pH 7.2) as the dialysis solution, respectively. SDS-PAGE patterns showed PSC-A and PSC-P as type I collagens, as well as acid soluble collagen (ASC). When incubated at 40°C, no degradation was observed for ASC, but PSC-A and PSC-P were degraded into short peptides, showing lower stability than ASC. The results indicate that pepsin remaining in the PSCs resulted in their degradation, which was confirmed by the inhibition using pepstatin. This research revealed the behavior of the remaining pepsin in pepsin-solubilized collagens and an approach to the PSC stability improvement was proposed. Chromatography profiles showed that new PSC prepared by the improved method had almost the same stability as ASC.
