Abstract

A strong bond formation between the aspartic acid residues of gelatin molecule and the silver bromide surface in various conditions gives good reason to believe that these residues are the groups by means of which the gelatin adsorbs to the silver bromide; this must be a true chemisorption. Such assumption allowed one (a) to calculate the length of a segment (ioop) of a single-chain gelatin molecule between the possible points of adsorption and (b) to draw some conclusions on the thickness and structure of gelatin adsorption layer on the silver bromide microcrystals. These results are in good agreement with the data of other authors.
