Oxidation of organosulfur compounds by the microsomal fraction of germinating pea seeds (Pisum sativum).
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.
