Abstract: ARSENIC AND THIOL PROTEINS 535 obtained that any significant combination occurs with other groups in the kerateine molecule.4. At least 75 % of the arsenic found in the lewisite-derivative is in combination with two thiol groups, and the hypothesis has consequently been put forward that dithiols may prove more effective antidotes to arsenic than the mono-thiols used in the past.This work was carried out as part of a programme of extra-mural research for the Ministry of Supply under the direction of Prof. R. A. Peters, M.C., F.R.S., and was com- municated to the Ministry in 1940 (Stocken & Thompson).
