Studies on a Matrix for the Biosynthesis of Collagen.

Abstract
Investigations showed that reticulin tissue contains a glycoprotein and nucleotide peptides of collagen, as well as collagen itself. The peptides are carboxyl-activated esters and the nucleotide is guanosine triphosphate. Collagen, glycoprotein and nucleotide peptides build up a highly ordered complex where the collagen and the glycoprotein are the template on which the nucleotide peptides are laid down.
