Molecular tilting in dried elastoidin and its implications for the structures of other collagen fibrils.

Abstract:

:Wet elastoidin spicules (fish fin rays) yield low-angle meridional X-ray diffraction patterns which resemble those from tendons. However, when the spicule dries the meridian splits into the arms of a diagonal cross (sometimes only one arm appears). Of the possible explanations we reject shearing of the axial arrangement of molecules but confirm tilting. We suggest that, in three dimensions, the molecules are tilted at angles which vary from 0 degrees at the centre to some maximum value at the surface of the spicule, resembling torsion of the array of molecules. Molecular tilting probably occurs in other collagen fibrils.

  • Inverse correlation between jasmonic acid and salicylic acid during early wound response in rice.

    abstract::This study presents a kinetic analysis of the response to wounding in rice plants. In particular, jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and lipoxygenase activity were measured in leaves of wounded rice plants during the early tillering phase. The results show that endogenous jasmonic acid transiently increases to a maximum 3...
