Abstract
Clostridium histolyticum collagenase has been used on fetal cartilage and bone in an effort to determine its effects on amino sugar-containing-compound collagen complexes. After enzyme treatment it has been found that the staining for acid glycosaminoglycans and glycoproteins in cartilage was abolished only after previous hyaluromdase digestion. The interaction dye-substrate in bone was, instead, readily suppressed after collagenase treatment. These findings suggest a complex formation between some amino sugar-containing compounds and collagen.
