“…This suggests different reactivities of the related -SH groups. It is significant that the -SH group concerned in these i8o-citric dehydrogenase preparations must differ from most of those known at present; considering the order ofsensitivity to -SH reagents, it is different in behaviour from those inhibited by lachrymators (Dixon, 1948;Bacq & Desreux, 1946), from myosin (Bailey & Perry, 1947), from triosephosphate dehydrogenase (Dixon, 1937), fromsuccinodehydrogenase (Hopkins & Morgan, 1938) and from the lewisitesensitive components of the pyruvate oxidase system from brain (Peters et al 1946), which includes the tricarboxylic acid cycle (Peters, 1948), at any rate in part. It is possible that the differences found here between the heart and kidney i8ocitric dehydrogenases might disappear upon further purification.…”
