Abstract
Recent developments in the chemistry of artificial protein fiber are reviewed, with emphasis on the differences in amino acid content of the various proteins. New experimental results of thermoelastic analysis of protein fibers and determinations of peptide chain length in proteins by end-group analysis are presented.
