Oscillations in bovine erythrocyte membrane free thiols.
Oscillations in the level of bovine erythrocyte membrane-SH groups available for DTNB are described. The concentrations of slow- and fast-reactive thiols and the kinetic properties of slow and fast reactions between -SH and DTNB revealed two kinds of cyclic changes. Oscillations of short (about 3 h) and long (about 14 h) duration were studied and the possible implications of these variations in membranes are discussed.
