Abstract
DURING the past few years, much evidence has been accumulated in support of the view that the free acid and basic side-chains of wool are equivalent and form salt linkages between the peptide chains1. Although further proof of the salt linkage hypothesis may seem to be redundant in view of recent determinations of the amounts of aspartic and glutamic acids in wool2, a proof based on the properties of deaminated fibres is essential to refute the erroneous conclusions drawn by Sookne and Harris3 from a study of deaminated wool.
