No it doesn't, at all. I recommend you to read the material I mailed
you again. Here's more reading on the topic for you.

The identification of functional form of glutaraldehyde in relation to
gelatin hardening and actual hardening were studied at lab at Union
Carbide Corporation. At that time, they published some results in
publicly circulating journals but kept good stuff in their house
journal. If someone has access to this stuff, please let me know.
