FIGURE 5 The SDS-PAGE pattern of EDTA-ASC, EDTA-PSC, and HCl-PSC. Lane 1: EDTA-ASC; Lane 2: EDTA-PSC; Lane 3: standard protein; Lane 4: type I collagen; Lane 5: residues in acid solution changed at 1.5 h; Lane 6: residues in acid solution changed at 3.0 h; Lane 7: residues in acid solution changed at 4.5 h; Lane 8: HCl-PSC. Molecular weights from top to bottom in the standard protein are 300, 250, 180, 130, 100, and 70 kDa.
