“…The traditional and well-known names of the common a-amino acids were, in general, given to them by their discoverers and bear no relationship to their chemical structures [1,2]. The modification of these names to accommodate derivatives and to designate configuration was codified in 1947 [3] and revised in 1960 [4].…”

“…Later we exchanged manu scripts as they were written, edited each other's material, and finally offered the whole to Chemical Reviews. To my surprise it was at once accepted, and in the printed form took 149 pages of the journal, nearly a whole issue (19). I suspect that that paper has repeatedly been the subject of seminar discussions in biochemical departments.…”

“…The published analytical data on the composition of fibroin are given in table 3 [4,13]. The maximum quantity of acid bound by fibroin, 0.13 M-eq/g, is nearly twice the sum of the r eported contents of arginine and lysine.…”

A study was made of the dependence on pH of the amounts of hydrochloric acid and of potassium hydroxide that are taken up by silk fibroin at 0° C. The effect of added potassium chloride on this dependence was also investigated, and was shown to be the binding of an increased quantity of acid or base at a given pH.The maximum acid-combining capacity of silk fibroin is 0.13 milliequivalent per gram; the maximum base-binding capacity is greater than 0.90 milliequivalent per gram. The presence of 0.13 to 0.17 milliequivalent of free carboxyl groups in silk fibroin is estimated from the titration curve. The great amount of base bound can be accounted for only if the phenolic hydroxyl groups of tyrosine take part in the equilibria with base. Further evidence that these groups bind base is provided by the greatly decreased amount of base bound by methylated fibroin. CONTENTS Page
