Summary
Here we have tried to find out the molecular weight, shape and size of the mcromolecular protein. Elastoidin. The experimental procedure ofKratky (1) for the measurement of parameters has been followed. TheGuinier approximation (2) has been used for the evaluation of these parameters. The three dimensional shape of the particles has also been determined. By this procedure we are of the opinion that the molecule is of the type approaching a circular cylinder.
