Correlative analysis identifies collagen changes via infrared markers, indicating structural instability.
Correlative photothermal infrared nanospectroscopy (AFM-IR) and non linear optical microscopy analyses reveal that the emergence of a 1730 cm⁻¹ IR band in collagen arises from local, thermally induced esterification. This band serves as a marker of irreversible molecular alteration, associated with structural destabilisation and chemical changes within the collagen matrix.
