The helical fragments obtained by partial chymotryptic digestion of S-carboxymethylkeratine-A, the low-sulphur fraction from wool, were fractionated into type-I and type-II helical segments in aqueous urea under conditions limiting carbamoylation. 2. The amino acid sequence of a 109-residue type-II segment was completed by using the sequenator. 3. When the data were incorporated into a helical model of 3.6 residues per turn the hydrophobic residues generated a band aligned at a slight angle to the helical axis. This result is in accord with the postulated coiled-coil structure of the crystalline regions of alpha-keratin.
