Dear Bill:
I have examined the reprints by Ungar that have just reached me.
So far as I can tell, the experimental work is alright. The interpretation of the results in relation to protein denaturation seems to me not to be very straightforward. Perhaps the work on available sulfhydryl groups is reasonably good indication of protein denaturation or change in configuration.
In general, my conclusion is that the work described in these papers represents an attack on a difficult problem that is only partially successful. It is hard for me to say whether further work along these lines would give really valuable results or not.
The problem of protein structure in relation to physiological activity is a very important one, and it is good to have people working on it. There are some promising methods of attack being used now. I am not sure that I could describe Ungar's methods as promising, but there is, of course, the chance that he could make a significant contribution by continuing the work.
Sincerely yours,
Dictated by Linus Pauling
