The development of regenerative medicine turns attention toward native collagen as a biocompatible material. Particularly interesting is fish skin collagen, which is relatively easy to extract comparing mammalian tissues and free of some pathogens that are dangerous to humans. The paper presents results of IR Raman spectroscopy studies of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) skin collagen. As collagen properties result from its structure and conformation, both sensitive to temperature, FT NIR Raman spectroscopy is an excellent tool to characterize the molecular structure of fish skin collagen, particularly in temperature range typical for the manufacturing processes of biomedical products. Therefore, the Raman spectra were recorded in a temperature range of 300 to 403 K. The analysis of Raman spectra of prepared collagen films, particularly in the range of the bands related to amide I and amide III entities, showed a high content of α-helix and α-helix type molecular organization in fish skin collagen. Additionally, the secondary structure of the studied fish skin collagen is stable up to ~358 K. Heating to 403 K leads to irreversible changes in the molecular structure of fish skin collagen. It was found that the Raman spectrum of fish skin collagen preheated in this manner becomes similar to the spectrum of the collagen obtained from bovine Achilles tendon, whose secondary structure does not change up to 403 K.

This study investigated peptide fractions from fish skin collagen for antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Salmonella strains. The collagen was hydrolyzed with six commercial proteases, including trypsin, Alcalase, Neutrase, Flavourzyme, pepsin and papain. Hydrolyzed samples obtained with trypsin and Alcalase had the largest number of small peptides (molecular weight < 10 kDa), while the hydrolysate produced with papain showed the lowest degree of hydrolysis and highest number of large peptides. Four hydrolysates were found to inhibit the growth of the Gram-negative bacteria, with papain hydrolysate showing the best activity against E. coli, and Neutrase and papain hydrolysates showing the best activity against S. abony; hydrolysates produced with trypsin and pepsin did not show detectable antibacterial activity. After acetone fractionation of the latter hydrolysates, the peptide fractions demonstrated enhanced dose-dependent inhibition of the growth (colony-forming units) of four Salmonella strains, including S. abony (NCTC 6017), S. typhimurium (ATCC 13311), S. typhimurium (ATCC 14028) and S. chol (ATCC 10708). Shotgun peptidomics analysis of the acetone fractions of Neutrase and papain hydrolysates resulted in the identification of 71 and 103 peptides, respectively, with chain lengths of 6–22 and 6–24, respectively. This work provided an array of peptide sequences from fish skin collagen for pharmacophore identification, structure–activity relationship studies, and further investigation as food-based antibacterial agents against pathogenic microorganisms.

The first application of polarization-sensitive multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (MCARS) in the absence of resonance enhancement to the resolution of the secondary structure of a protein in solution is reported. Polarization MCARS spectra of bovine albumin in D2O were obtained in the range 1370 to 1730 cm−1 with the aid of the background suppression technique. The spectra were fitted simultaneously with a single set of parameters (band positions, bandwidths, amplitudes, and depolarization ratios). Polarized Raman spectra simulated with these parameters revealed a good correspondence with the spontaneous Raman spectra measured. The broad amide I′ band was decomposed assuming the three major secondary conformations of protein, of which the contribution of β-sheet structure was found to be negligible. Relative weights of α-helix and random coil conformations agree well with the estimates obtained with Raman and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies.

This review provides a report on properties and recent advances in the application of collagen in cosmetics. Collagen is a structural protein found in animal organisms where it provides for the fundamental structural support. Most commonly it is extracted from mammalian and fish skin. Collagen has attracted significant academic interest as well as the attention of the cosmetic industry due to its interesting properties that include being a natural humectant and moisturizer for the skin. This review paper covers the biosynthesis of collagen, the sources of collagen used in the cosmetic industry, and the role played by this protein in cosmetics. Future aspects regarding applications of collagen-based materials in cosmetics have also been mentioned.

An investigation of the rotational Raman spectra of normal and fully deuterated cyclobutane (C4H8 and C4D8) has given values of the rotational constants for these molecules. From these results it was found that the C—C bond length is 1.558 ± 0.003 Å, irrespective of whether cyclobutane belongs to the molecular point group D4h (planar C4 ring) or D2d (puckered C4 ring).

Apart from the large amount of research undertaken to prove the existence of nitrosylsulphuric acid as an intermediate product in the manufacture of sulphuric acid by the lead chamber process, many researches have been made to determine the composition and constitution of the molecule. Whilst it is universally agreed that the empirical formula is HNSO 5 there is diversity of opinion on the molecular configuration and four different molecular structures are to be found in the literature. The present work was undertaken in an endeavour to clarify the position and in the hope that, by correlating the results obtained by Raman spectroscopy with the large amount of existing chemical data, more definite conclusion could be drawn regarding the molecular structure.
