抄録

A sensitive fluorometric method has been developed to determine the thiol and disulfide groups in proteins using N-(9-acridiny )maleimide as a fuorogenic reagent. Proteins are hydrolyzed with subtilopeptidase (Carlsberg type) in order to eliminate the steric hindrance. Then, thiols are determined by the reaction of N-(9-acridinyl)maleimide with the hydro ysate. Disulfide can be determined using the same hydro ysate after the derivatization into thins by<br>electroytical reduction. The fluorescence intensities have shown linear relations between the thin and disulfide contents at nmol/ml levels in the mode proteins. The sensitivity is 1000-times higher than conventional colorimetry with 5, 5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate).
