The dependence of the proton spin-lattice relaxation rate, and of the enthalpy and temperature of denaturation on water content, were studied by nmr and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in native and denatured collagen. Collagen was first heated at four different temperatures ranging from 40 to 70 degrees C. The percentage of denatured collagen induced by these preheating treatments was determined from DSC measurements. The DSC results are discussed in terms of heat-induced structural changes. A two-exponential behavior for the spin-lattice relaxation was observed with the appearance of denatured collagen. This was attributed to the presence of a noncollagen protein fraction. The variations in the different longitudinal relaxation rates as a function of the moisture content and of the denatured collagen percentage are described within the multiphase water proton exchange model. This study highlights the complementarity of the information obtained from the two analytical tools used.

Accumulation of ferritin, the iron storage protein, has been linked recently to aging and a number of pathologies. Noninvasive detection of iron storage by MRI relies on its extremely strong effect on water relaxation. The aim of this article is to characterize the effect of ferritin on transverse...

A proton magnetic resonance study of different cross-linked collagens was performed as a function of water content and temperature. Collagens from three connective tissues (calf, steer, and cow) were chosen according to the different number of nonreducible multivalent cross-links, which increases during the life of animal. Samples were hydrated...
