Double refraction of ‘myosin’ in flowing solutions

Dr John Edsall, well known as a leading biochemical historian, writes, with Dr Alex von Muralt, of a chapter in protein history in which they played a pioneering role, fifty years ago. A love of science, and a meticulous attention to experimental work on the part of both authors are evident in this fascinating account. I read and enjoyed their original article, when I was an undergraduate, in the Journal of Biological Chemistry in 1930. T.H. Jukes.
