Abstract: | A new, simple and fast spectrophotometric method for the determination of the H(2)S concentration is reported. This method, based on the 1:1 reaction between H(2)S and the ferric derivative of hemoglobin I (HbI) from the bivalve mollusc Lucina pectinata, allows the quantitative determination of H(2)S dissolved in a given solution even at concentrations as low as 1 x 10(-6) M. Note that L. pectinata HbI is considered the physiological receptor of H(2)S. |
