Abstract:
An amino acid analysis method using a commercially available analyzer that accurately quantitates protein-derived amino acids in the 10-100 pmol range is described. The method utilizes the robotic capability of the analyzer's autosampler to perform precolumn derivatization of both primary and secondary amino acids with o-phthalaldehyde and 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate, respectively. The derivatized amino acids are then separated on a C-18 reverse-phase amino acid column and quantitated in a single run by fluorescence detection. The characterization of beta-lactoglobulin and two tryptic peptides from the bacterial enzyme diaminopimelic acid epimerase is used to demonstrate the sensitivity and utility of this method.
