elastic fiber networks and collagen type II fibers. The principal protein is elastin. Elastic cartilage is histologically similar to hyaline cartilage but contains...

Most structural proteins are fibrous proteins; for example, collagen and elastin are critical components of connective tissue such as cartilage, and keratin...

In 1937, Stein completed his thesis on the amino acid composition of elastin, earning his Ph.D. Stein was introduced to potassium trioxalatochromate...
