摘要
Carboxypeptidase A was assayed for active sulfhydryl groups by titration with HgCl2. A chloride ion probe NMR technique was utilized to observe the behavior of the mercuric ion. Although mercuric ion was found to bind to the enzyme, it could be removed by dialysis showing that the binding cannot be through a sulfur atom. The absence of sulfhydryl groups indicates that the two half cystine residues in the molecule must be linked by a disulfide bond. © 1969.
