Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, biochemical tests, morphological investigations, via electron, polarizing and phase contrast microscopy have been used to validate the effects of a restoration method for fire injured ancient parchment codices, requiring parchment softening, regeneration, stretching and drying. The results allowed understanding of modifications induced by the heat, namely collagen denaturation, and those by the restoring process on heat damaged ancient parchments.

Abstract

Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, biochemical tests, morphological investigations, via electron, polarizing and phase contrast microscopy have been used to validate the effects of a restoration method for fire injured ancient parchment codices, requiring parchment softening, regeneration, stretching and drying. The results allowed understanding of modifications induced by the heat, namely collagen denaturation, and those by the restoring process on heat damaged ancient parchments.

Biochemistry & Biophysics focuses on the structure and chemistry of biomolecules and covers all aspects of basic biochemistry/biophysics, including molecular structure, enzyme kinetics and protein-protein interaction; this category also contains cross-disciplinary resources focused on a specific class of biological molecules, e.g., nucleic acids, steroids, magnesium, growth factors, free radicals, bio-membranes, and peptides. Excluded are resources dealing with the application of biochemical techniques to specific topics listed elsewhere in CC/LS. Resources with a strong emphasis on the integration of biochemical pathways (such as signal transduction or molecular motors) at the cellular level are placed in the Cell & Developmental Biology category.
