Abstract
The present invention relates to a crosslinkable modified collagen which is soluble in water and/or in aprotic polar organic solvents and which contains free or substituted thiol groups carried by residues of cysteine or derivatives thereof, at least some of the residues being fixed to the collagen via spacer compounds. It further relates to processes for the production of the collagen. Applications are adhesives, biomaterials for prostheses, implants, or other medical articles.
