Priti Prasanna Maity et al. develop a method for high-yield isolation of type II collagen from the Capra hircus ear cartilage, a commonly available biowaste product. Using mass spectrometry they mapped the positions of hydroxyproline within the collagen II alpha chain; this methodology facilitates isolation and characterization of this biomedical resource.
