Abstract
SOLUBLE collagens have been extracted from connective tissue with various media1,2. One type of molecular species consisting of α components has been obtained by extracting with neutral salt solutions, and another type consisting of varying proportions of α and β components has been obtained by extraction with buffered acid solutions. This communication describes the extraction of a different molecular species of collagen which is composed of β components only.
