Abstract
PREVIOUS investigations of phosvitin in solution have shown that the specific optical rotation, [α], in the visible and near ultra-violet regions is highly dependent on the pH and to a certain extent on the solvent composition. Furthermore, it has been reported that the rotatory dispersion constant of this protein varies with pH, λc = 225 mµ at pH 4.7 and 207 mµ at pH 10.75 (refs. 1 and 2).
