The total cross sections for the {sup 116}Sn(p,{gamma}){sup 117}Sb, {sup 114}Sn(p,{gamma}){sup 115}Sb, {sup 64}Zn(p,{gamma}){sup 65}Ga, and {sup 46}Ti(p,{gamma}){sup 47}V reactions have been measured using an activation technique for protons with center-of-mass energies between about 1 and 4 MeV. Radiative proton captures on {sup 116}Sn and {sup 64}Zn are compared to previous measurements while extending the measured energy range. From these measurements, astrophysical S-factors have been deduced by integrating NON-SMOKER results which have been scaled to the deduced S-factors in the measured energy range. Comparisons are made to thermonuclear reaction rates from the MOST and NON-SMOKER statistical model calculations.
