Abstract
RECENT work on the electron spin resonance signals observed in ultra-violet-irradiated proteins1 has stimulated interest in the theory that proteins may exhibit conduction band properties. In experiments with ultra-violet irradiated proteins and amino-acids carried out in this laboratory, results have been obtained which in a particular instance may support such a theory.
