The glass point of elastin

S R Kakivaya et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1975 Sep.

Abstract

Elastin undergoes a glass transition in a temperature range depends on its water content. This behavior is similar to that of amorphous polymers swollen with solvent and, therefore, is additional evidence for the random network model proposed for the structure of elastin.
