    16 April 1962

    To: Dr. William Dove

    From: Linus Pauling

    Subject: Anesthesia

    If you have not already talked with Dr. Vinograd about density gradient ultracentrifugation, I would be pleased if you would do so.

    A year or so ago I talked with Dr. Vinograd about the possibility of testing the theory of anesthesia by density gradient ultracentrifugation, and he has a flask of xenon that was obtained in connection with this possibility. He has done some work on bovine serum albumin in relation to degree of hydration, but has not yet carried out experiments on the effect of chloroform or xenon or other anesthetic agent. He has had this possibility in mind, however.

    Also, Dr. Vinograd has told me about experiments by Scatchard and others on binding of chloride ion by bovine serum albumin in slightly acid solutions. I think that you would find it worth while to discuss this matter with him.
