Abstract
The relationship between the two-dimensional Hill model and the David-Schor extension of the one-dimensional Zimm-Bragg model for the α ⇄ β transformation in keratins is developed. On the basis of the assumptions of the David Schor model, it appears unlikely that the Hill model in its present form can give detailed agreement with the experimental tension-length isotherms.
