In experiment with excised uterus strip of a rat, acetylcholine was inhibited noncompetitively by hydrogen ion concentration, while barium choride and oxytocin were inhibited competitively. Oxytocin was far more strongly inhibited than barium chloride by hydrogen ion and this may be considered as inhibition of dissociation of -SH group in the barium receptor. Inhibition of oxytocin is probably due to inhibition of the dissociation of phenol group of tyrosine in the oxytocin molecule.
