Cover: Application of discharge plasma caused convertible reaction between the reduced and oxidized form of glutathione, one intrinsic antioxidant in cell which prevents damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species. Raman spectroscopy was employed to probe the process in a non‐invasive way by monitoring the 508 cm ‐1 and 2567 cm ‐1 Raman bands corresponding to (SH) and (SS) vibrations, respectively. This study sets up an example to quantitatively investigate the oxidative stress effect on the sulfhydryl active center in proteins and the antioxidant system of biological organisms.
