Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Undegraded, recent Type I collagen was reacted with two different batches of humic acid, monitoring the speed of uptake, and measuring the final maximum uptake. The speed turned out to be quite high (hours rather than days), as was the average maximum uptake. The resulting complex was analysed using *13C and 14C measurements, and Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy, and then subjected to a number of different chemical treatments including enzymatic digestion. It was found that most chemical procedures only partially remove the humics, which is a significant finding in the light of effectiveness of radiocarbon/stable isotope chemistries. In the case of enzymatic digestion, collagenase action was not hindered by the 0.8kDa humic linked to the collagen, but was by the larger humic.
