The Basic Amino Acid Content of Enamel Protein

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.
