Abstract
THE facts, which Astbury and Bell ask for, that have led me to believe that the spreading of a globular protein on water involves the breakdown of a cyclol cage molecule into polypeptide chains without open ends, were given by me in detail in a lecture on July 1, 1938, at the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Proteins, in the ensuing discussion, and in the discussion of Dr. Wrinch's paper on June 30. Dr. Astbury attended these lectures. The lectures and discussions have been published in the Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, vol. 6.
