Thermoelasticity of Elastin [PDF]
Nature, 1970 THERE is some controversy about the presence in elastin of an ordered structure1–3. Mammi et al.4 now report evidence for the occurrence of some degree of α-helix conformation in the native protein. The conformation was previously5 observed in soluble elastin; the temperature coefficient of the α-helix had different values in solvents such as water or ...

Analysis of the molecular mobility of collagen and elastin in safe, atheromatous and aneurysmal aortas [PDF]
, 2012 Aim of the study : In this study, we propose to use a thermal technique, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to follow the evolution of elastin and collagen in safe and pathological cardiovascular tissues.

Biopolymers, 1977 AbstractThe thermoelastic behavior of water solvated elastin has been investigated in simple tension, in the temperature range 0–70°C. Specimens purified from both the ox ligamentum nuchae and pig thoracic aorta have been studied. Force data obtained by cycling the temperature for various constant specimen lengths display a separated variable ...

Influence of homocysteine on the physical structure and molecular mobility of elastin network in cultured arteries [PDF]
, 2009 The thermal and dielectric properties of the elastin network were investigated in arteries cultured with physiological and pathological concentrations of homocysteine, an aminoacid responsible of histological impairments in human arteries.

Mechanical Properties and Functions of Elastin: An Overview
Biomolecules, 2023 Human tissues must be elastic, much like other materials that work under continuous loads without losing functionality. The elasticity of tissues is provided by elastin, a unique protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of mammals.

Diversity in the organization of elastin bundles and intramembranous muscles in bat wings [PDF]
, 2017 Unlike birds and insects, bats fly with wings composed of thin skin that envelops the bones of the forelimb and spans the area between the limbs, digits, and sometimes the tail.

Elastin genetic point mutation and the risk of pelvic organ prolapse
Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020 Aim: A missense mutation in the elastin gene (g28197A > G) is associated with an increased risk for inguinal hernias. Due to the shared epidemiological and pathophysiological features between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and inguinal hernias, the authors ...

Hydrated elastin: Dynamics of water and protein followed by dielectric spectroscopies [PDF]
, 2011 The dielectric properties of elastin were investigated at different levels of hydration and specifically at the limit of freezable water apparition. The quantification of freezable water was performed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).
