Abstract: | A new method for the detection of collagen and collagen peptides in the presence of other proteins is described. The procedure is based on alkaline hydrolysis of the proteins and monitoring of the free hydroxyproline after chromophore formation. The method is quick and sensitive and the color yield of hydroxyproline is not affected by chromatography solvents. As all steps of the assay take place in a single test tube the method is suitable for batch processing of column fractions. Due to the high sensitivity of the assay it can be used for the analysis of collagen and collagen peptides in extracts of small tissue samples or biopsies. |
