Abstract
Polarographic characterization of tobacco mosaic virus and cytochrome c reveals the typical “double wave” phenomenon of proteins. By varying the temperature, pH and composition of the supporting electrolyte the two “catalytic maxima” can be resolved into three. It would seem probable that the three catalytic maxima are caused by the cysteinyl residue present in both TMV and cytochrome c.
