Abstract
The ion exchange chromatographic technique of Moore and Stein (1951) has been used to estimate the amino acids in an aCid hydrolysate of merino 64's quality virgin wool. A complete analysis of one sample of this wool is summarized in Table 3 together with figures for the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulphur, and ash contents. With the exception of the glycine analyses the results confirm the figures previously accepted as reliable for wool.Keywords
