It will be recalled that one of the objectives of this series of studies was to learn more about the mechanism by which mustard gas (H) produces injurious effects on cells. Direct chemical studies have accounted for inhibition of carbohydrate metabolism on tlie basis of reaction with intracellular
Recent experiments (Kinsey and Grant 111, '47) have shown that slightly over half of the available chloroethyl groups of mustard gas (H) fixed by yeast cells combine with glutathione. While the average growth rate of yeast is reduced to about 5% of normal, and eventually most of the cells die with d
