The effects of non-enzymatic glycation on the polymerization dynamics of collagen. (a) Collagen polymerization dynamics were measured as a function of ribose concentration based on absorbance readings at 500 nm during polymerization. (b) The fibril formation rates of glycated collagen polymerization were found by fitting a sigmoidal curve to the polymerization data in (a) and reporting the slope of the linear section of the curve. Data presented as mean ± SEM
