The Characteristics of Intrinsic Fluorescence of Type I Collagen Influenced by Collagenase I
The triple helix structure of collagen can be degraded by collagenase. In this study, we explored how the intrinsic fluorescence of type I collagen was influenced by collagenase I. We found that tyrosine was the main factor that could successfully excite the collagen fluorescence. Initially, self-as...
