Linus Pauling

Protein crystals

I have run across a paper by Dalton and Nelson, J.Am.Chem.Soc., 61, 2946 (1939), on a protein which forms small cubic crystals. This protein is a tyrosinase from the wild mushroom. It contains copper.

I am mentioning this to you now so that we can keep it on file in case that we take up the study of globular proteins after the war.
