abstract = "Collagens, one of the most abundant on the Earth, are family of proteins which constitute the basis of connective tissue (extracellular matrix) in multicellular organisms. We used collagen type II from bovine Achilles tendon. In further work, collagen has been studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Using TEM we successfully obtained images of collagen and whole collagen fibrils. Using AFM we captured images of whole collagen as well as images of fragments from collagenase-treated collagen (it was digested with collagenase from Clostridium histolycium). AFM images of collagenase-treated collagen showed many fibrils grouping into large bundles – collagen fiber. Based on obtained images we studied surface morphology, shape and length of fragments from collagenase-treated collagen.",
