Pepsin treatment of avian skin collagen. Effects on solubility, subunit composition and aggregation properties.
D. W. Bannister,Anne B. Burns +1 more
TL;DR: Pepsin treatment lowered the rate of fibrillogenesis by acid-soluble collagen, but was without effect on pepsin-solubilized collagen.
An investigation of the content and solubility of muscle collagen in the chick (Gallus domesticus)
D. W. Bannister,Anne B. Burns +1 more
TL;DR: An experiment designed to test the solubility of collagen suggested an increasing extent of cross-linking in the order, skin, flight IMC, leg IMC; and Solubility was enhanced in all three tissues by digestion with pepsin but at the expense of some damage to the tropocollagen molecule itself.

Interference by urate in the determination of plasma glucose.
TL;DR: Four techniques for the accurate assay of plasma glucose, in the presence of high urate concentrations, were investigated; the method based on the procedure of Morley et al. (1968) proved to be most satisfactory of those tested.
5
The presence of collagenolytic activity in avian serum
D. W. Bannister,Anne B. Burns +1 more
TL;DR: The enzyme (s) was present in sera from chicks but could not be detected in non-growing birds and was strongly inhibited by heavy metal ions.

Studies on l-hydroxyproline oxidation by kidney from two strains of domestic fowl (Callus domesticus)
D. W. Bannister,Anne B. Burns +1 more
TL;DR: Activity in one strain of bird (Broiler) increased from the time of hatching up to at least 6 weeks, whereas in the other (Brown Leghorn) it remained more or less constant, whereas the feeding of a diet containing l -hydroxyproline for 1 week did not alter the level of activity.
