ALTERATIONS IN ALKALI PROTEINS in 



A lower temperature delays the alteration in viscosity con- 

 siderably and increases the maximum value, probably owing to 

 inhibition of the processes which find their expression in the 

 decrease of viscosity. 



The variations in viscosity correspond to a change in con- 

 ductivity with time ; this property suffers a continuous decrease, 

 and no point when the decrease is reversed corresponding to 

 the alteration in viscosity can be recognised, as the following 

 table shows.
