Abstract
The histidine, lysine, and arginine content of enamel protein prepd. from noncarious fully erupted permanent 1st and 2d molars was detd. by paper chromatography, chromatographic separation upon a mixture of Lloyd''s reagent and Super-Cel, and by microbiological assay. The mole ratios of these 3 amino acids are 1:3:9, in fairly close agreement with the ratios 1:4:12 suggested for an eukeratin.Keywords
