Abstract
The local viscoelasticity was compared between full-length and telopeptide-removed collagen solutions using optical-tweezers-based microrheology. An enhanced modulus at higher concentrations in full-length collagen solutions suggests contributions from telopeptide-associated transient crosslinks.
