Title | Referee's report by Albert Charles Chibnall, on a paper 'Studies on silk proteins I. The properties and constitution of fibroin. The conversion of fibroin into a water-soluble form and its bearing on the phenomenon of denaturation' by D Coleman and F O Howitt |
Date | 1 November 1946 |
Description | Sectional committee: Chemistry
Not recommended for publication. The paper contains interesting material, but is badly written. The authors don't seem to be well-acquainted with modern work on protein structure. The conclusions are open to serious criticism. The discussion contains numerous misrepresentations of previous authors work and statements that are purely speculative. The experimental results are interesting and should be published.
