Abstract
OUR knowledge of the amino-acid composition of Bence–Jones protein is still incomplete. Recently, Dent1 has analysed a specimen of Bence–Jones protein, using paper partition chromatography, with regard to its amino-acid composition. He found that the specimen contained all the common amino-acids except methionine and hydroxyproline. Dent's findings were at variance with those of Devine2, who found methionine present in amount 0.58 per cent.
