Abstract
The irradiation of a soluition of two symmetric disulfides produces detectable amounts of the nonsymmetric mixed disulfide. The effect is abolished by the addition of ethylmaleimide. The finding indicates that radiation caulses a disulfide opening and recombining process which may be of radiobiological interest.Keywords
