Radiation lability of amino acids of cytochrome c, hemoglobin, and egg albumin was studied under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and in the presence of -SH compounds. Aerobic irradiation causes considerable destruction of amino acids. Some protection was offered by anaerobic conditions and by -SH compounds used. Mechanisms by which the -,SH compounds function as radiation protectors are discussed.
