It was shown in the preceding paper The significant difference between these fractions was their solubility be- haviour at 40 and 370: fraction B remained in solution at both temperatures, fractions A and C were in solution at 40 and formed typical collagen fibres at 370, the fibres of fraction A completely dissolved again on subsequent cooling but those of fraction C did not. The physical and possible physiological relationships between these fractions have been further explored and the nature of the temperature-dependent process of fibre formation studied.
