1. Denatured tobacco mosaic virus has a number of SH groups corresponding to its total sulfur content of 0.2 per cent. The SH groups were estimated by titration with ferricyanide, tetrathionate, and p-chloromercuribenzoate in guanidine hydrochloride solution and by reduction of the uric acid reagent
