Agreement between the miscalculated from the two types of observation. I am not certain, from the remarks on page 86, what
Mr. project 23 Helix thread. No. 3 We wonder if your proposal does not account for the observation-for which we have had no
explanation-that lower the pH under the film causes it to tend to expand. But does not be a reasonable consequence of structure
in which the basic residues would be facing the water? The seeming hysteresis of the effect of lowered PH is something else
again, and here our data are incomplete because we did not determine the PH limits within the PH effect was reversible. We
would appreciate very much any comments you might make on these questions and that same time hope that these data, representing
a somewhat different experimental approach from those the site, might be of some use to you in further elaboration of your
theory. I hope that the points we have raised will be intelligible despite the chemical illiteracy that they reflect. I must
add that all credit for the technical accomplishments in the enclosed paper should go to Mr. James.
