ELASTIC OR YELLOW connective tissue is generally considered to be a member of that
class of bodily supportive material known as connective tissue (Astbury, 1957) along with …

We have recently derived the complete amino acid sequence of rat tropoelastin from a
series of overlapping cDNA clones. Comparison of this protein sequence to bovine and …

Sequence analysis of cDNA clones coding for rat tropoelastin previously has identified two
variants that potentially corresponded to alternatively spliced tropoelastin mRNAs (Pierce et …

Publisher Summary In the 40 years that have elapsed since the publication of the review of
the protein amino acids in 1931, a surprising number of new amino acids have been found …

Recent isolation and characterization of cDNAs encompassing the full length of chicken,
cow, and human elastin mRNA have led to the elucidation of the primary structure of the …

1. The bivalve ligament protein has a high percentage of glycine. 2. The absence of
hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine in the ligament and the lack of a wide angle diffraction …

It has been demonstrated that the metabolism of aortic connective tissue is greatly altered in
experimental atherosclerosis. Plaque reversal is demonstrated in the artery of the rabbit with …

The amino acid composition of the silk (or webbing) produced by Tetranychus cinnabarinus
(Boisd.) was determined. It differed from most other arthropod silk proteins, but resembled …

Elastin is the main structural protein that provides elasticity to various tissues and organs in
vertebrates. Molecular motions are believed to play a significant role in its elasticity. We …

Histochemical and chemical techniques have been used to identify, isolate and characterize
elastin from certain bovine cartilages. The results strongly suggest that in addition to …
