Abstract
The percentage of denatured type 1 collagen in baboon bone using a new biochemical method was studied and correlated with the biochemical and physical properties of bone. The results indicate that changes in the failure energy and fracture toughness of bone most likely stem from age-dependent changes in mineral and collagen phases of bone. Structural changes in collagen molecules are significantly correlated with the elastic modulus and failure energy or toughness of bone. Meanwhile, bone mineral content has a significant correlation with the elastic modulus, yield strength and ultimate strength of bone.
