Abstract
ALTHOUGH the action of cuprammonium hydroxide on cellulose has been studied in considerable detail, comparatively little is known of its effect on keratin, except that under certain conditions hair and wool can be dissolved in the reagent1,2. It is therefore of interest to describe some observations on the action of cuprammonium hydroxide on wool which promise to yield valuable information on the mechanism of long-range elasticity in animal hairs and on the structure of proteins.
