The theory of rubber elasticity is reviewed to study several properties of the three dimensional protein gels, e.g., the number of sulfhydryl binding sites per protein polypeptide. Alternatively, the theory of gelation can be used to explore the protein aggregating reactions, to evaluate the required number of protein aggregates and the rate that the different size proteins aggregate when gelling.
