Human dentin and bovine skin collagens, partially hydrolyzed with acid, were compared by peptide mapping on thin-layer plates. The patterns, which showed 20 to 25 spots, were similar for the two types of collagen. No major differences in the structural characteristics of dentin and skin collagens can be predicted from these results.
