Values for dityrosine concentration were determined in wool and its morphological components, the cortex and cuticle. Dityrosine was found to be located in the tyrosine-rich proteins of wool, cortex, and cuticle. Within the cuticle it was shown to be present in the intercellular cement and the A-lay

β¦ Synopsis
An assay of the enzymic oxidation of tyrosine to dityrosine was performed to determine the optimum conditions for dityrosine formation. Improvements were introduced into the method for dityrosine synthesis and purification so as to obtain a higher yield (10%) of pure dityrosine. The product served as a reliable reference for studies of the dityrosine content of wool.
