✦ Synopsis
Polarography of 5,5'-dithio bis-(2 nitrobenzoic acid) in the pH range 2-12, in Britton-Robinson buffer at constant ionic strength (0 .5 M) has been carried out. Four cathodic waves (A, B, C and D) and an anodic wave have been obtained . Wave A is produced by a reduction of pre-protonated nitro groups . This wave has adsorption characteristics and precedes nitro groups' waves up to a pH 9 .0 . Wave B i s produced by a reduction of nitro groups and splitting of wave B into two waves are observed . At 45°C, nitro groups are reduced to the corresponding amine with an ECE mechanism at every pH value . At 20°C, nitro groups are reduced to the corresponding amine at pH > 6 .5 only. Wave C is produced by a reduction of the disulfide bond. This wave, at pH < 7 .8, is overlapped with the nitro groups wave . Wave D is ill-defined and appears at pH > 9 .0. An anodic wave is produced, due to thiolate which is formed from alkaline cleavage of the disulfide bond .

Hydrogen sulfide was determined with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), p-chloromercuribenzoate (PCMB), and 5,5'-dithiobiQ2nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). One mole of hydrogen sulfide reacted with two moles of NEM or PCMB. It reacted with only one mole of DTNB, but produced two moles of the thiol anion, 5thio-2nitr
The primary reaction between the cysteine residues of histone H3 and dithiobis-(nitrobenzoic acid) may be succeeded by thiol-disulfide interchange steps leading to intraor intermolecularly crosslinked H3 molecules. A chromatographic assay is applied to detect consecutive reactions of this type and i
