Techniques and protocols for the in vitro formation of collagen type I fibrils and the extensive biochemical variation of the fibrillogenesis conditions are presented. In all cases, the incubation and fibrillogenesis product can be readily monitored by transmission electron microscopic study of negatively stained specimens. Representative TEM data is presented and discussed within the context of the products of the fibrillogenesis protocols, from which the extensive biochemical and structural possibilities of this integrated approach can be appreciated.
