Abstract: The changes of the chemical states and the relative contents of sulfur, gold, carbon and oxygen after methionine reacted with different chemical sensitizers are studied by ESCA scanning technique of X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(CPS). The results indicated that the interaction mechanism of methionine reacted with different chemical sensitizers is not identical. Any oxidation-reduction reaction did not occurred between methionine and sulfur sensitizer, they could coexist steadily in the same system. The methionine was oxidized to methionine sulfoxide, in the same time reducing Au3+ to gold atom. The hydroxy of methionine could coordinate Au, forming Au-O-C coordinate metal complex. After S+Au sensitizers had been immersed into methionine system, oxidation-reduction reaction occurred between added thiosulfate and Au3+, methionine could coordinate Au which was reduced by sulfur sensitizer, also forming Au-O-C coordinate metal complex.

Key words: methionine, chemical sensitizer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
