Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Pepsin-solubilised collagen (PSC) was extracted from the skin of unicorn leatherjacket ( Aluterus monocerous ), using 0.5 M acetic acid in the presence of pepsin from albacore tuna, yellowfin tuna or porcine pepsin at a level of 20 units/g of defatted skin. Yields of 8.48 ± 0.3%, 8.40 ± 0.3% and 7.56 ± 0.4% (wet weight basis) were obtained for PSC extracted with the aid of albacore tuna pepsin (APSC), yellowfin tuna pepsin (YPSC) and porcine pepsin (PPSC), respectively. All PSCs were classified as Type I collagen containing two α 1 -chains and one α 2 -chain with no disulphide bond. The peptide maps of different PSCs hydrolysed by V8 protease and lysyl endopeptidase were different. ATR-FTIR spectra analysis revealed that PSC molecules had the compact triple helical structure stabilised mainly by the hydrogen bond. T max of all PSCs (31.68–31.98 °C) shifted to lower values (29.33–29.40 °C) when dispersed in 0.05 M acetic acid, indicating the conformational changes in the collagen structure induced by acid. Relative viscosity of 0.03% PSC in 0.1 M acetic acid solution decreased progressively as the temperature increased from 4 to 52 °C, indicating thermal destabilisation or denaturation of PSC molecules. All PSCs were soluble in the pH range of 1–6 and sharply decreased at neutral pH. Decreases in solubility were observed in the presence of NaCl, especially at concentrations above 2% (w/v). Therefore, the skin of unicorn leatherjacket could serve as a potential source of collagen.
