摘要
Electrophoretic analysis of soluble .phi.-keratin protein of beaks (ramphotheca) revealed differences in individuals among maxillary, mandibular and palatal portions. There were no differences in tissue between individual parrots (Psittacus). In morphologically more complex feathers, no differences were found in the molecular mass of the .phi.-proteins, but greater numbers of charge isomers were present. The distribution of polypeptide size and structural complexity can be related to function, ontogeny, or both.
