The Influence of Visible Light on the Sulfhydryl Content of Yeast Cells After Ionizing and Ultraviolet Irradiation

Abstract

The investigations were undertaken to study changes in the thiol content of proteins in cells, as affected by ultraviolet and ionizing radiations. This report deals with the development of an amperometric method for the quantitative determination of sulfhydryl groups; its application for the titration of sulfhydryl groups in yeast cells; and some preliminary data on the sulfhydryl content of yeast cells as affected by x- and ultraviolet irradiation and subsequent irradiation with visible light.
