Fig. S18 Normalized kinetic absorption profiles for the decay of 4-PyrS-retinol• at 380 nm in methanol at various oxygen concentrations (5, 21, 50 and 100%) formed following 266 nm laser photolysis (laser energy ~4 mJ) of 4, 4`-dipyridyl disulfide (~2 × 10–4 M) in the presence of retinol (~8.0 × 10–5 M). The inset shows plots of pseudo-first order rate constants (kobs) for the fast and slow decay of 4-PyrS-retinol•, at 380 nm, versus the oxygen concentration.

Fig. S20 Plots of pseudo-first order rate constants (kobs) for the fast and slow decay of PhS-retinol• at 380 nm, generated following 266 nm laser photolysis of phenyl disulfide (~6 × 10–4 M) with retinol (~9.0 × 10–5 M) in methanol, versus the oxygen concentration (laser energy ~4 mJ). The inset shows normalized kinetic absorption profiles for the decay of PhS-retinol•, at 380 nm, at various oxygen concentrations (1, 5, 21, 50, 100% and argon).
