RESUMO
In this study, a database of the thermal stability of collagens and their synthetic analogues has been compiled taking into account literature sources. In total, our database includes 1200 records. As a result of a comparative theoretical analysis of the collected experimental data, the relationship between the melting temperature (Tm) or denaturation temperature (Td) of collagens and the fraction of hydrophobic residues (f) in their molecules has been established. It is shown that this relationship is linear: the larger the f value, the higher the denaturation or melting temperature of a given collagen.
