Summary

Following enzymic digestion with pronase, masked SH groups in micellar casein became available for titration in disaggregating media with mercurial reagents. The content of cystine and cysteine was also estimated after reduction with (a) sulphite, and (b) borohydride, and also by reaction in alkaline conditions with Cd(OH)2. The results show that the micelles contain mainly cysteine, and that it is likely that cystine is not present.
