Irving Listowsky, Joseph J. Betheil, and Sasha Englard abstract: Ferritin exhibits a plain optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) curve in the spectral region from 600 to 250 µ. The curve obtained in the far-ultraviolet region with a trough at 233 µ and peakat 198 µ is typical of a protein containing an appreciable con-tent of helical segments. The rotatory parameters which were obtained using the Moffitt-Yang and Shechter-Blout treatments of the data in the visible region of the spectrum suggest that nearly halfof the native protein exists in the helical form. Ferritin fractions of varying iron content were obtained by am-monium sulfate fractionation or by density gradient centrifugation. The rotatory properties were independent of the iron content. Apoferritin prepared after chemical reduction of ferritin at pH 4.7, however,
