Electron microscopic evaluation of altered collagen structure induced by N-monochloroglycine (GK-101)

J Dent Res. 1977 Dec;56(12):1539-45. doi: 10.1177/00220345770560122401.

Abstract

The effects of N-monochloroglycine (NMG) solutions on the structure of collagen were studied by transmission electron microscopy. In addition to finding that collagen structure was altered by NMG solutions, the results offer evidence that buffer and water also exert some effect on collagen fiber structure.
