THE COMBINATION OF EDESTIN WITH HYDROCHLORIC ACID.
Electromotive force measurements of cells without liquid junction, of the type Ag, AgCl, HCl + protein, H(2), lead to the conclusion that 1 gm. of edestin (or, more probably, edestan) combines with a maximum of 13.4 x 10(-4) equivalents of H(+) and 3.9 x 10(-4) equivalents of Cl(-), when the protein is dissolved in 0.1 M HCl.
