THE paths of oxidation of the sulphur-containing amino-acids in the animal body have been deduced largely from quantitative and qualitative studies of the end-products excreted under various metabolic conditions. An attempt has been made in this investigation to extract the enzymes concerned in these transformations and to study some of the conditions under which they operate. The present paper is concerned, for the most part, with the oxidation of cystine and cysteine and of some of their partially oxidized derivatives.
