Abstract
Sulfur-containing amino acids were oxidized via photosensitization by 4-carboxybenzophenone (CB) in neutral aqueous solutions. The mechanism of this reaction was investigated with flash photolysis and pulse radiolysis techniques. The rate constants were determined for the quenching of the CB triplet state by 12 amino acids (with variable relative location and number of terminal functions COOH and NH 2 with respect to the sulfur atom) and were found to be 1.8×10 8 -2.9×10 9 M -1 s -1
