Popis: The data on the effect of temperature on the kinetics of collagen fibril formation at physiological pH values and ionic strength in the temperature range 26–39°C have been analyzed. The temperature of 35°C optimal for collagen fibril formation has been defined as the point of inflection for half-maximal turbidity and collagen molecule microunfolding values, which corresponds to the temperature of the first transition on the heat absorption curve. The temperature range (32–35°C) in which collagen microunfolding stimulates fibril formation has been determined.
