Study on the characterization and isolation of collagen from different shark skins / 中国海洋药物

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the methods of isolating collagen from different shark skins and to study its biochemical properties.Methods The collagen from the Blue shark scalp was extracted and purified by enzymolysis after treatment with diluted caustic alkali,and the collagen from the Spanish mackerel skins was extracted and purified by phosphate buffer method,respectively.Subsequently,the relative molecular mass,thermal denatured temperature and secondary structure of extracted collagen were determined.Results The extracted collagen with a yield of 2.9%～4.1% showed three clear bands by SDS-PAGE,and the relative molecular mass were 205,134 and 118KDa.The collagen from Blue shark and Spanish mackerel skins maximal thermal denatured temperature was 69,47℃,respectively.The secondary structures of their collagen were primary with ?-sheet and the random structure,without ?-alix.Conclusion The purified collagen was also extracted by the method of enzymolysis after treatment with diluted caustic alkali and the method of phosphate buffer.The relative molecular mass and the composition of Blue shark collagen and Spanish mackerel collagen were limited.However,the different extracted conditions could affect the specifically biochemical properties of thermal denatured temperature and secondary structure of collagen.
