Abstract:
Collagen can be used as a model system for studying the effects of radiation on a protein. Quantitative studies of collagen fibrils from electron-optical images from radiated and non-radiated material can produce information not only about the structural effects produced by radiation, but also about the actual part of the fibril being affected.
