title: Oxidation of organosulfur compounds by the microsomal fraction of germinating pea seeds (Pisum sativum).
abstract: The oxidation of organosulfur functional groups by the microsomal fraction of germinating pea seeds has been investigated. Arylsulfides , but not thioamides , were converted to sulfoxides by this hemoprotein in the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
