Page 544 - Insoluble in water. Edestan, myosan. b. Metaproteins. The further action of acids and alkalies produces metaproteins. These are soluble in weak acids or alkalies, but insoluble in neutral solutions. Acid albumin, (acid metaprotein) ; alkali albumin. c. Coagulated proteins. Insoluble protein products produced by the action of heat or alcohol. B. Secondary Protein Derivatives. a.
Page iii - beginning the subject. For this reason, special care has been taken to select for treatment such compounds as best serve to make clear the fundamental principles. General relations as illustrated by special cases are discussed rather more fully than is customary in books of the same size ; and, on the other hand, the number of compounds taken up is smaller than usual.
Page 123 - cracking," or destructive distillation, sets in. The fires are slackened in order to distil very slowly, and this slow distillation is continued until the temperature in the still reaches 675 to 700° F., producing a distillate with an average boiling point of about 550° F., but containing some
Page 123 - combine with the acid, producing a heavy black viscous mass called acid sludge which settles to the bottom of the vessel. The sludge is drawn off and the oil washed with water and alkali to remove all traces of acid and is then ready for the market. The
Page iii - It is difficult to see how, without some such general introductory study, the technical chemist and the student of medicine can comprehend what is usually put before them under the heads of 'Applied Organic Chemistry' and 'Medical Chemistry.'
Page 543 - E. Albuminoids. Simple proteins, insoluble in dilute acid, alkali, water or salt solutions. Elastin, keratin, collagen. F. Histones. Simple proteins, not coagulable by heat, soluble in water and in dilute acid ; strongly basic, and insoluble in ammonia. Histone from birds

Page 543 - but also into other non-protein substances. The simple proteins are separated into the following groups by their solubilities and other properties. A. Albumins. Simple proteins, coagulable by heat, soluble in water and dilute salt solutions. Ovalbumin, serum albumin. B. Globulins. Simple proteins,
