Dear Peter:
Mama and I are very pleased that you have received a Rational Science Foundation Pre-doctoral Fellowship for next year.
I am also interested to learn about the progress of your work on myoglobin. I wish that I could report some progress on collagen, but unfortunately I can't. I still feel that the structure that I have been worrying about for a couple of years may well be the right one, but now some chemical information has turned up that throws doubt upon it.
We have sent off a paper on tussah silk, to be published in Acta Crystallographica. Tussah silk has only about 25 percent glycine, whereas Bombyx mori silk has nearly 50 percent. The structure of tussah silk is much like that of Bombyx mori silk, except that the antiparallel-chain pleated sheets do not form close contacts with one another, as they do in Bombyx mori, on the sides where only hydrogen atoms protrude.
