Abstract
Evidence suggests the association of bisphenol A (BPA) with increased collagen (COL) expression in the development of fibrosis. Ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra on collagen-BPA interaction showed that 100 ng/ml of BPA initiated loosening of protein backbone through unfolding with exposure of tyrosine residues resulting in an intermediate "Molten Globule" state, which later aggregated with 1 μg/ml of BPA indicated with an apparent red-shift. Conformational changes with CD and ATR-FTIR showed disappearance of negative band with broadening and shifting of peptide carbonyl groups. Light scattering findings with TEM images presented initial dissolution followed by unordered thick fibrillar bundles with 30 μg/ml BPA. The complex was pH sensitive, with calorimetric thermogram revealing increased thermal stability requiring 83°C to denature. Hydrogen bonds of 2.8 Å with hydrophobic interactions of BPA in all grooves of collagen molecule with same pattern and binding energy (-4.1 to -3.9 kcal/mol) confirmed the intensity of aggregate formation via in-silico docking.

Abstract
Gelatin is the putative research hotspot of natural products, but gelatin prepared by traditional alkali methods has seriously affected its applications due to the worryingly low molecular weight and poor gel strength. Herein, we took the lead to extract the distinct gelatin from a kind of bioinspired collagen aggregate (CA) by a two-step controlled degradation method. Structural analysis suggested that the CA better preserves the natural aggregated structure of nature collagen (typical D-periodic cross-striated pattern). Compared with the gelatin gelatinized by the conventional alkali method (G-Al) and commercial gelatin (CG), the gelatin (G-CA) from CA had a wide molecular weight distribution range, high transparency, high viscosity, and strong gel strength as expected. Meanwhile, the G-CA film exhibited better mechanical performance and thermostability than CG and G-Al films, and water vapor permeability was also higher in the G-CA film, whereas water solubility was higher in the CG and G-Al films. Thus, the G-CA film is more conducive to the use of food packaging or edible films, exhibiting more potential market application prospects. Notably, G-CA based on CA from waste hide offal provides a way to reuse leather waste resources and further realize green and clean production in leather industry.

Abstract
The present study systematically investigated the effects of alcohols, including methanol, ethanol, n-butanol, and propanol with different hydroxyl group numbers and locations on the thermal stability and molecular aggregation behavior of collagen. The results of ultra-sensitive differential scanning calorimetry (US-DSC), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and intrinsic fluorescence showed that with the increase of carbon chain length, alcohols can denature collagen, accompanied by transition in triple helical structure, promoted aggregation behavior, and altered molecular interactions. However, with the number of hydroxyl groups in alcohol molecules increased, the thermal stability of collagen increased and the molecules tended to disperse. Furthermore, radial distribution function (RDF) results showed that alcohols can change the structure of the hydration layer around collagen, thus altering the aggregation morphology of collagen molecules in solution. The results of the interaction between components in different alcohol systems demonstrated that with the decrease of alcohol polarity, bridge bond networks were formed between collagen molecules. Specifically, it was found that because the hydroxyl groups in 1,3-propanediol are located at both ends of the carbon chain, the reticular bridge bond structure formed between the collagen molecules changed into chain-like bridge structure. The bridge bonds between collagen molecules were considered to be weak cross-linking, which was an important reason for the destruction of collagen structure. In this study, the mechanism of interaction between different alcohols and collagen was elucidated, which will be helpful for further development of complex alcohol and collagen products.

Abstract
Sodium dodecyl sulfonate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) were used to analyze the structural properties and gastrointestinal digestive characteristics of natural insoluble undenatured type II collagen (IC II) and pepsin soluble undenatured type II collagen (SC II). Results showed that, after gastric digestion, especially under low pH conditions, some thick and short collagen fibers were dissolved from IC II, which was accompanied by the release of soluble protein with triple helix structure. As to SC II, when gastric digestion was performed under higher pH conditions, collagen fibers were mildly thinned and curved, and the triple helix structure was slightly destroyed. However, those changes hardly occurred during the intestinal digestion. Moreover, the undenatured type II collagen existing in SC II digestive supernatant was 1.2-12.4 times higher than that of IC II depending on the pH conditions. These results suggested that, it is more likely for SC II to exert its activity of relieving arthritis, and it should be taken when the pH of gastric environment is high.

Abstract
The substantially growing gap between suitable donors and patients waiting for new organ transplantation has compelled tissue engineers to look for suitable patient-specific alternatives. Lately, a decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), obtained primarily from either discarded human tissues/organs or other species, has shown great promise in the constrained availability of high-quality donor tissues. In this review, we have addressed critical gaps and often-ignored aspects of understanding the innate and adaptive immune response to the dECM. Firstly, although most of the studies claim preservation of the ECM ultrastructure, almost all methods employed for decellularization would inevitably cause a certain degree of disruption to the ECM ultrastructure and modulation in secondary conformations, which may elicit a distinct immunogenic response. Secondly, it is still a major challenge to find ways to conserve the native biochemical, structural and biomechanical cues by making a judicious decision regarding the choice of decellularization agents/techniques. We have critically analyzed various decellularization protocols and tried to find answers on various aspects such as whether the secondary structural conformation of dECM proteins would be preserved after decellularization. Thirdly, to keep the dECM ultrastructure as close to the native ECM we have raised the question "How good is good enough?" Even residual cellular antigens or nucleic acid fragments may elicit antigenicity leading to a low-grade immune response. A combinative knowledge of macrophage plasticity in the decellularized tissue and limits of decellularization will help achieve the native ultrastructure. Lastly, we have shifted our focus on the scientific basis of the presently accepted criteria for decellularization, and the effect on immune response concerning the interaction between the decellularized extracellular matrix and macrophages with the subsequent influence of T-cell activation. Amalgamating suitable decellularization approaches, sufficient knowledge of macrophage plasticity and elucidation of molecular pathways together will help fabricate functional immune informed decellularized tissues in vitro that will have substantial implications for efficient clinical translation and prediction for in vivo reprogramming and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Induction of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) by pharmacologic vitreolysis has been largely attempted through the use of enzymatic reagents. Ocriplasmin has been the only FDA-approved clinical reagent so far. Several adverse effects of ocriplasmin have emerged, however, and the search for alternative PVD-inducing reagents continues. Since i) collagen forms an important structural component of the vitreous, and ii) strong vitreo-retinal adhesions exist between the cortical vitreous and the internal limiting membrane (ILM) of the retina, an effective PVD-inducing reagent would require both, vitreous liquefaction, and concurrent dehiscence of vitreoretinal adhesion, without being toxic to retinal cells. We designed a combination of two reagents to achieve these two objectives; a triple helix-destabilizing collagen binding domain (CBD), and a fusion of RGD (integrin-binding) tripeptide with CBD (RCBD) to facilitate separation of posterior cortical vitreous from retinal surface. Based on in vitro, ex-vivo, and in vivo experiments, we show that a combination of CBD and RCBD displays potential for safe pharmacologic vitreolysis. Our findings assume significance in light of the fact that synthetic RGD-containing peptides have already been used for inhibition of tumor cell invasion. Proteins such as variants of collagen binding domains could have extended therapeutic uses in the future.

Abstract
Type-I collagen assembles in a stepwise, hierarchic fashion from the folding of the triple helix to the assembly of fibrils into fibers. The mature assembled fibers are crucial for tissue structure and mechanics, cell interactions, and other functions in vivo. Although triple helix folding can be followed with the use of optical methods such as circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, fibrillogenesis is typically measured by alternative methods such as turbidity, rheology, and microscopy. Together, these approaches allow for investigation of the mechanical properties and architectures of collagen-based scaffolds and excised tissues. Herein, we demonstrate that CD spectroscopy, a technique that is used primarily to evaluate the secondary structure of proteins, can also be employed to monitor collagen fibrillogenesis. Type-I collagen suspensions demonstrated a strong, negative ellipticity band between 204 and 210 nm under conditions consistent with fibrillogenesis. Deconvolution of CD spectra before, during, and after fibrillogenesis identified a unique fibril spectrum distinct from triple helix and random coil conformations. The ability to monitor multiple states of collagen simultaneously in one experiment using one modality provides a powerful platform for studying this complex assembly process and the effects of other factors, such as collagenases, on fibrillogenesis and degradation.

Abstract
We explore the design of metal binding sites to modulate triple-helix stability of collagen and collagen-mimetic peptides. Globular proteins commonly utilize metals to connect tertiary structural elements that are well separated in sequence, constraining structure and enhancing stability. It is more challenging to engineer structural metals into fibrous protein scaffolds, which lack the extensive tertiary contacts seen in globular proteins. In the collagen triple helix, the structural adjacency of the carboxy-termini of the three chains makes this region an attractive target for introducing metal binding sites. We engineered His3 sites based on structural modeling constraints into a series of designed homotrimeric and heterotrimeric peptides, assessing the capacity of metal binding to improve stability and in the case of heterotrimers, affect specificity of assembly. Notable enhancements in stability for both homo- and heteromeric systems were observed upon addition of zinc(II) and several other metal ions only when all three histidine ligands were present. Metal binding affinities were consistent with the expected Irving-Williams series for imidazole. Unlike other metals tested, copper(II) also bound to peptides lacking histidine ligands. Acetylation of the peptide N-termini prevented copper binding, indicating proline backbone amide metal-coordination at this site. Copper similarly stabilized animal extracted Type I collagen in a metal-specific fashion, highlighting the potential importance of metal homeostasis within the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
Native collagen is arranged in bundles of aligned fibrils to withstand in vivo mechanical loads. Reproducing such a process under in vitro conditions has not met with major success. Our approach has been to induce nanolinks, during the self-assembly process, leading to delayed rather than inhibited fibrillogenesis. For this, a designed synthesis of nanoparticles - using starch as a template and a reflux process, which would provide a highly anisotropic (star shaped) nanoparticle, with large surface area was adopted. Anisotropy associated decrease in Morin temperature and superparamagnetic behavior was observed. Polysaccharide on the nanoparticle surface provided aqueous stability and low cytotoxicity. Starch coated nanoparticles was utilized to build polysaccharide - collagen crosslinks, which supplemented natural crosslinks in collagen, without disturbing the conformation of collagen. The resulting fibrillar lamellae showed a striking resemblance to native lamellae, but had a melting and denaturation temperature higher than native collagen. The biocompatibility and superparamagnetism of the nanoparticles also come handy in the development of stable collagen constructs for various biomedical applications, including that of MRI contrast agents.

AbstractThe treatment of chromium tanned sheepskins with poly(hydroxyl urethane) and dispersion of chemically synthesized nanosilver showed the best resistance to fungi and bacterial exposure tests. These collagen-based materials containing different amounts of nanosilver were investigated by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy, Atomic Force Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy. The influence of sheepskins treated with silver nanoparticles on the wound healing process was assessed and the nanoparticles concentration seems to have a positive effect up to 370 ppm and does not influence the inflammatory process above this concentration.

Abstract
Type I collagen is a major extracellular matrix component and its hierarchical structure plays an essential role in the regulation of cellular behavior. Here, we have analyzed the changes in the morphological, chemical, and mechanical properties of collagen fibrils induced by acidic and thermal treatments and the influence on the cellular response of MC3T3-E1 cells. Morphological changes induced by the disintegration of the fibrillar structure of collagen were observed using atomic force microscopy. The changes in the surface chemistry due to the disassembly of native collagen fibrils were observed using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS). ToF-SIMS spectra were very sensitive to changes in the molecular configuration of the collagen fibrils induced by acidic and thermal treatments due to the extreme surface specificity. In addition, ToF-SIMS showed clear and reproducible changes in the surface amino acid composition corresponding to the acidic and thermal treatments of collagen fibrils. Based on the quantitative map of surface elastic modulus measured by contact-resonance force microscopy, acid and thermally treated collagen showed a lower elastic modulus than native collagen fibrils. Compared with native collagen fibrils, reduced cell spreading and decreased viability of MC3T3-E1 cells were observed on both the acid and thermally treated collagen.

Abstract
Circular dichroism (CD) is a useful technique for monitoring changes in the conformation of antimicrobial peptides or gelatin. In this study, interactions between cationic peptides and gelatin were observed without affecting the triple helical content of the gelatin, which was more strongly affected by anionic surfactant. The peptides did not adopt a secondary structure in the presence of aqueous solution or Tween 80, but a peptide secondary structure formed upon the addition of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The peptides bound to the phosphate group of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and displayed an alpha-helical conformation while (KW)4 adopted a folded conformation. Further, the peptides did not specifically interact with the fungal cell wall components of mannan or laminarin. Tryptophan blue shift assay indicated that these peptides interacted with SDS, LPS, and gelatin but not with Tween 80, mannan, or laminarin. The peptides also displayed antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa without cytotoxicity against HaCaT cells at MIC, except for HPA3NT3-analog peptide. In this study, we used a CD spectroscopic method to demonstrate the feasibility of peptide characterization in numerous environments. The CD method can thus be used as a screening method of gelatin-peptide interactions for use in wound healing applications.

Abstract
A stable magnetic nanocomposite of collagen and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) is prepared by a simple process utilizing protein wastes from leather industry. Molecular interaction between helical collagen fibers and spherical SPIONs is proven through calorimetric, microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. This nanocomposite exhibited selective oil absorption and magnetic tracking ability, allowing it to be used in oil removal applications. The environmental sustainability of the oil adsorbed nanobiocomposite is also demonstrated here through its conversion into a bi-functional graphitic nanocarbon material via heat treatment. The approach highlights new avenues for converting bio-wastes into useful nanomaterials in scalable and inexpensive ways.

Abstract
To study the interaction between hydroxyapatite (HAP) and collagen in bone, we researched the phenomenon of collagen biomineralization and self-assembly in viro by uv-vis spectra and circular dichroism (CD) spectra. The materials prepared by self-assembly collagen and collagen-HAP showed layer structures. And the product prepared by collagen-HAP had better and more compact appearance. The decrease of speed of collagen self-assembly was caused by calcium ion or strontium ion added. The trough of CD spectra moved down in calcium-containing solution and moved up when forming precipitation of calcium phosphate from the solution. It indicated that the effect of collagen self-assembly was caused by calcium ions, strontium ions etc. in the solution. The IR spectrum proved that a coordinate bond formed between calcium ion and amide groups on collagen.

Abstract
The influence of crosslinking on the hydration structure of collagen has been investigated. Nuclear magnetic resonance, dielectric relaxation and thermoporometry were used to investigate water structure in native and crosslinked collagen fibers on both wet and dried specimen. Measurements reveal the influence of different chemical treatments on the transverse relaxation time and polarization of the collagen fibers. The frequency dependence of dielectric constant of collagen fibers displays an induction behavior on low frequencies. Bound water constrained in collagen fibers seems to provide signatures for changes induced by crosslinking agents on the pore diameter and distribution in collagen fibers. A correlation of transverse relaxation time of water in dry and wet states presented in this study presents an experimental tool for examining the differences in efficacy of crosslinking agents. Changes in the dielectric relaxation, dynamics of water structure and hydroporometric structure of collagen are dependent on the nature of crosslinking material.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of Cr3+ on the hierarchical structure of pigskin collagen fibers by use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), confocal laser micro-Raman spectroscopy (CLRS), and circular dichroism (CD). Our results demonstrate that the introduction of Cr3+ leads to the formation of a cluster of 20-40 nm between collagen fibrils, while the unique axial periodic structure (D periodicity) of the fibrils does not change. As the Cr3+ concentration increases, the order of intermolecular lateral packing, crystallite structure within helical chains, and N and C telopeptide regions decrease. The present study reveals that Cr3+ only cross-links with collagen but does not disrupt its triple helical structure.

Abstract
Studies on the structure and stability of peptides and proteins during l-->d configurational change are certainly important for the designing of peptides with new biological activity and protein engineering. The l-->d amino acid (d AA) changes have been observed in aged proteins such as collagen. Hence, in this study, an attempt has been made to explore the effect of the replacement of l amino acid (l AA) in the model collagen-like peptides with d AA and the origin of structural stability (destability) has been traced using the molecular dynamics (MD) method employing the AMBER force field. Our results reveal that the substitution of d AA produces a large local disruption to the triple-helical structure. Formation of a kink (bulge) at the site of substitution is observed from the detailed analysis of MD trajectory. However, this local perturbation of kinked helix changes the direction of the helices and affects the relative orientation of the respective AA residues for helix-helix interaction, enough to affect the overall stability of the model collagen-like peptide. The destabilization energy per d Ala substitution is 7.87 kcal/mol, which is similar to the value for the Gly-->Ala mutation in collagen. Since the Gly-->Ala mutation is involved in genetic disorders such as osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), the l-->d configurational change may produce a similar effect on collagen.

Abstract
Many cross-linking agents for collagen are available with varying levels of toxicity and some are in use in biomedical implants of collagen. L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), a neurotransmitter, is a naturally present compound in the living system and is the target in therapeutic strategy of Parkinson's disease. This work reports the effect of the neurotransmitter DOPA on the stability of collagen solution using circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectroscopy, melting and shrinkage temperature. Collagen solution treated with various concentrations of DOPA ranging from 10(-2) to 10(-5)M was analyzed using fluorescence and CD spectra. When collagen was treated with DOPA, the intensity of emission was found to increase indicating the possibility of interaction of DOPA with collagen and maximum emission intensity was observed between 10(-3) and 10(-4)M for L-DOPA and DL-DOPA, respectively. CD studies show possible aggregation of collagen even in the presence of low concentrations of DOPA. The shrinkage temperature of DOPA treated collagen fibres was experimentally determined to be 69+/-1 degrees C. The melting temperature of DOPA cross linked collagen solution also exhibited a significant increase from 35 to 40 degrees C (+/-0.1) (P<0.05). The experimental results suggest that the optimum concentration for cross linking collagen with DOPA ranges between 10(-3) and 10(-4)M. Thus, DOPA may be a useful stabilizing agent for collagen for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The application of ultrasonic irradiation (40KHz, 120W) in the enzymatic extraction of bovine tendon collagen has been investigated. Our results show that using the ultrasonic irradiation increases the yield of collagen up to approximately 124% and significantly shortens the extraction time in comparison with the conventional pepsin isolation method. Such improvements are attributed to the enhancement of the enzyme activity and the dissolution of collagen substrate because the ultrasonic irradiation disperses the pepsin aggregates and opens up the collagen fibrils, thus the enzymatic hydrolysis is facilitated. AFM imaging shows the same fibrillar structure of tendon collagens generated from both the methods. The CD and FT-IR measurements reveal that the triple helix structure of collagen remains intact even after the ultrasonic irradiation. This study shows that the mild ultrasound irradiation can effectively improve the efficiency of pepsin extraction of natural collagen without any compromise of the resultant collagen quality.

Abstract
Oxazolidine E, an aldehydic cross-linking agent, is used to impart hydrothermal stability to collagen. The purpose of this study was to investigate the exact nature of oxazolidine E induced cross-links with collagen by using synthetic peptides having sequence homology with collagen type I. Tandem mass spectrometry revealed the formation of methylol and Schiff-base adducts upon reaction of oxazolidine E with the peptides. This was confirmed by allowing the reaction to proceed under reducing conditions using cyanoborohydride. Mass spectrometry (MS)-MS analysis clearly showed interaction of tryptophan and lysine residues with oxazolidine E and demonstrated that arginine could be cross-linked with glycine in the presence of oxazolidine E through the formation of a methylene bridge. Collagen fibrils regenerated from monomers in the presence and absence of oxazolidine E were studied using atomic force microscopy to investigate morphological alterations. Regenerated fibrils showing the typical 65 nm D-banding pattern were obtained from those formed both in the presence and absence of oxazolidine E, and there was no evidence of a change in the D-periodicity of these fibrils. This indicated that oxazolidine E does not hinder collagen molecules from correctly aligning to form the quarter-stagger structure.

Abstract
Cross-linking agents play an important part in the physical properties of collagen based biomaterials. Oxazolidines are novel aldehydic tanning agents that are widely used to stabilise collagens in the leather industry. The exact mechanism through which they cross-link collagens is, however, not well understood. When they are combined with vegetable tannins, it is thought that oxazolidines form carbocationic intermediates through ring opening, which are then able to interact with the amino acid side chains of collagens and flavonoid ring systems of vegetable tannins. In this study, the interactions of oxazolidines, with collagens, have been investigated using a number of analytical techniques. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of oxazolidine tanned collagen samples showed that there is an irreversible reaction with tyrosine side chains. Mass spectrometry (MS) revealed the formation of a Schiff's base adduct with lysine residues, which was reversible in nature. MS analysis of reaction of oxazolidines with a model peptide Suc-Ala-Phe-Lys-AMC in presence of NaCNBH(3), indicated the formation of a product with an increase in molecular weight of 28 kD characteristic of the addition of two methyl groups to lysine. Differential scanning calorimetry showed a synergistic effect for combination tannage, with best results being obtained when vegetable tan was added prior to the aldehydic tanning agents. Circular dichroism (CD) studies of collagen in presence of the more reactive oxazolidine A showed that there was a loss in ellipticity simply because of aggregation of collagen molecules rather than a change in the secondary structure. Based on the results obtained, a scheme has been proposed to explain the possible mechanism of action of oxazolidines with the collagen amino acid side chains.

Abstract
The denaturation of collagen solution in acetic acid has been investigated by using ultra-sensitive differential scanning calorimetry (US-DSC), circular dichroism (CD), and laser light scattering (LLS). US-DSC measurements reveal that the collagen exhibits a bimodal transition, i.e., there exists a shoulder transition before the major transition. Such a shoulder transition can recover from a cooling when the collagen is heated to a temperature below 35 degrees C. However, when the heating temperature is above 37 degrees C, both the shoulder and major transitions are irreversible. CD measurements demonstrate the content of triple helix slowly decreases with temperature at a temperature below 35 degrees C, but it drastically decreases at a higher temperature. Our experiments suggest that the shoulder transition and major transition arise from the defibrillation and denaturation of collagen, respectively. LLS measurements show the average hydrodynamic radius R(h), radius of gyration R(g)of the collagen gradually decrease before a sharp decrease at a higher temperature. Meanwhile, the ratio R(g)/R(h) gradually increases at a temperature below approximately 34 degrees C and drastically increases in the range 34-40 degrees C, further indicating the defibrillation of collagen before the denaturation.

Abstract
Insights into molecular mechanisms of collagen assembly are important for understanding countless biological processes and at the same time a prerequisite for many biotechnological and medical applications. In this work, the self-assembly of collagen type I molecules into fibrils could be directly observed using time-lapse atomic force microscopy (AFM). The smallest isolated fibrillar structures initiating fibril growth showed a thickness of approximately 1.5 nm corresponding to that of a single collagen molecule. Fibrils assembled in vitro established an axial D-periodicity of approximately 67 nm such as typically observed for in vivo assembled collagen fibrils from tendon. At given collagen concentrations of the buffer solution the fibrils showed constant lateral and longitudinal growth rates. Single fibrils continuously grew and fused with each other until the supporting surface was completely covered by a nanoscopically well-defined collagen matrix. Their thickness of approximately 3 nm suggests that the fibrils were build from laterally assembled collagen microfibrils. Laterally the fibrils grew in steps of approximately 4 nm, indicating microfibril formation and incorporation. Thus, we suggest collagen fibrils assembling in a two-step process. In a first step, collagen molecules assemble with each other. In the second step, these molecules then rearrange into microfibrils which form the building blocks of collagen fibrils. High-resolution AFM topographs revealed substructural details of the D-band architecture of the fibrils forming the collagen matrix. These substructures correlated well with those revealed from positively stained collagen fibers imaged by transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract
Collagen, a unique connective tissue protein finds extensive application as biocompatible biomaterial in wound healing, as drug carriers, cosmetics, etc. A work has been undertaken to study the stabilization of type I collagen using the plant polyphenol catechin. Catechin treated collagen fibres showed a shrinkage temperature around 70 degrees C implying that catechin is able to impart thermal stability to collagen. Catechin treated collagen fibres has been found to be stable even after treatment with high concentration of the secondary structural destabilizer, urea. Circular dichroism studies revealed that there is no major alteration in the structure of collagen on treatment with catechin. The study has demonstrated the involvement of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions as the major forces involved in the stabilization of collagen by the plant polyphenol, catechin.

Abstract
This work reports the effects of cross-linking agent like formaldehyde (HCHO) and glutaraldehyde (GA) on monomeric collagen and its conformational stability using circular dichroism. The nature of the bonds formed and the stability of the cross-links introduced vary with the aldehyde. The amount of HCHO required is four times greater than GA to induce similar changes in the molar ellipticity. This is due to the structural changes of collagen-aldehyde reaction. The change in the molar ellipticity and Rpn ratio for HCHO and GA treated collagen suggest possible aggregation of collagen molecule. The relative viscosity of native and aldehyde treated collagen was measured and correlated to the changes seen in the CD spectra. The small amount of aldehydes are needed to induce changes in the conformational stability of collagen. This can be applied to the biomaterial and biomedical application.

Abstract
An Aspergillus carbonarius isolate, selected from an established microbial culture collection, was used to study the biodegradation of chromium shavings in solid-state fermentation experiments. Approximately 97% liquefaction of the tannery waste was achieved and the liquid obtained from long-term experiments was used to recover chromium. The resulting alkaline chromium sulfate solution was useful in tanning procedures. A proteinaceous liquid was also obtained which has potential applications as a fertilizer or animal feed additive and has several other industrial uses. The A. carbonarius strain proved to be a very useful tool in tannery waste-treatment processes and chromium recovery in the tanning industries.
