Abstract
STUDIES of interactions between lithium salts and a model peptide, as related to protein denaturation, have been in progress in this laboratory for some time1. During these studies, a crystalline material was produced from a mixture of 13 M lithium bromide and N-methylacetamide (NMA) (1 : 4 ratio). These crystals contained both NMA and LiBr. The determination of the structure of this material would, therefore, establish the nature of the interaction between the ions and the model peptide in the crystal.
