  Dr. David Harker

  Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn

  99 Livingston Street

  Brooklyn 2, New York

  Dear Dave:

  A week or so ago Eddie Hughes mentioned to me that I had not answered your last letter. I did not remember that I had not answered it — I guess that I had planned to answer it, then had been interrupted, and had a memory of my plan rather than of the fact. Accordingly, I have been looking over a pile of unanswered letters on my desk today, and have found yours, which I now answer.

  I do not have any objection to your asking Palmer for a copy of his intensity results on lysozyme. Probably you have already written to him. I am sorry to have neglected to tell you that it is all right to do so.

  As to Sidney Weinbaum, I judge that he would have liked to appeal the case, but he did not have money enough to pay the cost of an appeal, and the judge turned down a petition for an appeal in forma pauperis. Sidney seems to have felt that he was innocent, but it seems to me that he may have been relying upon some technicality. Opinion among people who attended the trial is divided. I was away from California when the trial was going on.

  Did you notice the note that Dr. Corey and I had in the November issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society? We feel very enthusiastic about our new polypeptide configurations. We are just finishing up some calculations before writing a long paper on the subject.

  I feel very pleased with the way that our work on proteins is progressing. Fifteen years ago I stated in an application to the Rockefeller Foundation for support of our work (the attack on the protein problem by way of amino acids and other simple substances) that it would take fifteen or twenty years, but that ultimately the structure of proteins would be determined. I felt then that I was being optimistic, but I think that it will turn out that the statement was justified.

  I have just been writing up a paper on hemoglobin in which evidence is presented to show that the hemoglobin molecule is a rather

  fat sort of sandwich, consisting of two thick slices of protein bread, with four salami slices (the hemes) in between.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Memo to Linus Pauling from Himself

  Researches on Hemoglobin

  1. Study Urechis hemoglobin in various ways.

  2. Look for intermediates in carbonmonoxyhemoglobin by the electrophoretic method.

  3. Investigate the salt effect on hemoglobin in combining with the various alkylisocyanides. Salt-free hemoglobin should give the same equilibrium constants with different isocyanides, if our steric explanation of interactions is correct. Also, it would be very interesting to see how much interaction still remains in salt-free material in combination with isocyanides.

  4. Perhaps the pH dependence of combination with isocyanides could be studied

  Dr. E. C. Kleiderer

  Eli Lilly and Company

  Indianapolis 6, Indiana

  Dear Erv:

  I am writing to let you know about progress in the plasma substitute field, and especially to find out if there is any chance that Eli Lilly would be interested in the manufacture of Oxypolygelatin.

  I understand that contracts are being let for a large number of units - of the order of millions - of periston and dextran. I myself feel very strongly that Oxypolygelatin is a plasma substitute superior to either of these two, and also superior to gelatin solution for transfusion. I feel that the fate of periston and dextran in the human body is uncertain, and that these substances may produce serious injuries to organs, sometime after their injection. On the other hand, I believe that we can be sure that gelatin and Oxypolygelatin are rapidly hydrolyzed, and that they would not produce serious long-time damage. There are several advantages of Oxypolygelatin over gelatin. One of them is that a solution with satisfactory osmotic properties is liquid, whereas a solution of gelatin with satisfactory osmotic properties is a gel at room temperature, and must be warmed to body temperature for injection. Another real advantage of Oxypolygelatin is that the final step, autoclaving with hydrogen peroxide, leads to destruction of pyrogens, so that Oxypolygelatin preparations are uniformly non-pyrogenic, whereas I understand that there is a large percentage of discard of gelatin preparations because of pyrogenicity.

  One aspect of Oxypolygelatin that needs further study is the nature of the chemical action of glyoxal and hydrogen peroxide on gelatin. There is the possibility that the hydrolyzed Oxypolygelatin contains undesirable materials formed from the amino acid residues in gelatin by the action of glyoxal and hydrogen peroxide. We do not have any evidence that such materials are present, but we are investigating this question.

  We are also investigating the whole problem of alteration of gelatin to produce a more satisfactory plasma substitute, with the idea that perhaps the use of glyoxal can be eliminated. We have been working under a new contract from the Public Health Service for several months, and the Office of Navel Research has also given us a contract, for work on plasma substitutes.

  Dr. Kleiderer

  You may be interested to know that I have been serving as the chairman of a committee that is planning a very large scale program in the protein synthesis field - that is, the manufacture of large polypeptides, and their investigation as to usefulness as plasma substitutes or for other medical purposes. We are planning to investigate the physiological properties of moderately small peptides as well as of the very high polymers in connection with this work. The Navy will support our program of research on the structure of proteins, since information about the structure of proteins, may be important in an attempt to manufacture protein substitutes for special purposes.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W
