Gold(0) dissolves in a wide range of aqueous amino acid solutions exposed to dioxygen. In particular, the thiol-containing molecules cysteine, penicillamine and glutathione give solutions of gold complexes which can be identified by circular dichroism. Animal experiments suggest that gold complexes can be absorbed readily through skin. Gold concentration in human skin which had been in prolonged contact with gold and concentrations from the skin of patients treated with Myocrisin, a gold(I) compound, are reported. The possible significance of these results in terms of erosion of jewelry and skin-irritant reactions is discussed.
