Abstract
The extraction of protein from wool fibers by alkaline thiol solutions containing urea has been re-examined with a view to achieving maximum extraction. The extent of extraction was generally less than that previously reported. Some samples of Merino wools (21 μm diameter) show marked differences in the extent of extraction, and the extractability is apparently related neither to the age of the sample nor to the lanthionine and lysinoalanine contents.
