Abstract
Modified wools have been prepared in which all the disulfide bonds have been severed by reduction and alkylation under conditions not conducive to peptide-bond rupture. The possi bility of introducing strongly lyophilic groups into the wool proteins by this method was in vestigated. The solubility and other properties of —S carboxamidomethyl wool and extracts from it were studied.Keywords
