title: [Gravitational cause of fluctuations of the rate of oxidation of unithiol by nitrite ion].
abstract: The rate of oxidation of unithiol (sodium dimercaptopropansulfonate) by nitrite ion was determined in the course of the annual experiment at the Antarctic station Mirny in 1996-1997. The rhythmic fluctuations in the oxidation rate were found. It is shown that these fluctuations correlate with changes in the velocity of the Earth's forward-rotational movement by the action of the Sun and Moon.
