β¦ Synopsis
The flameless atomic absorption procedure for determination of minute amount of mercury has been adapted for measuring thiol-groups in native and denatured proteins. The excess of p-hydroxymercuribenzoate is removed by gel filtration after its reaction with the protein. The protein-p-hydroxymercuribenzoate complex is digested and the mercury is determined in an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The sensitivity of the method allows measurement of 0.05 ~zg protein-bound mercury with the equipment used, but can be further increased. Results are presented for five different pl-oteins.

## Abstract The metal content (Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb) of Finnish margarines manufactured in 1978β80 were investigated by the flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry method. Copper, iron and nickel were digested by the dry ashing method whereas for lead both dry ashing and wet ashing were employed. T
