Abstract
A method is described for microdetermination of the total amount of cysteine and cystine in proteins. By means of hydrazinolysis the cysteine and cystine sulphur is transformed to hydrogen sulphide which is subsequently measured colorimetrically as bismuth sulphide. Quantities of 20[long dash]200 ug cysteine plus cystine can be determined. Neither methionine nor ammonium sulphate interfere with the reaction.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
