Abstract
According to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, ‘Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.’ The ideas and suggestions presented in this chapter do not quite satisfy Szent-Gyorgyi’s paradigm, since some new facts were added to the older data. However, the previously available information should have sufficed for an acute observer. It is well known that the type I collagen in bone differs from that in soft tissue. For example, the collagen in bone cannot be split by collagenase until the tissue is demineralised. Also, the collagen in bone requires a much higher temperature to gelatinise.
