N-(9-Acridinylthiocarbamoyl)amino acids (ATC-AA) II - VII were synthesized by reaction of amino acids with 9-isothiocyanatoacridine I, a new fluorescence labelling agent. The amino acid derivatives II - VII show high relative fluorescence, which is suitable for the determination of nanomolar amounts of ATC-AA. The kinetic measurements show that reaction of I with amino acids is 6 to 22 times faster than analogous reaction of phenyl isothiocyanate. The possibility of using 9-isothiocyanatoacridine for structure determination of proteins is discussed.

A new double-labelling procedure for amino acid analysis which requires only routine chromatographic equipment is described. When 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitro[3H]benzene is reacted with a mixture of 14C-labelled amino acids followed by reaction with the same 14C-labelled amino acid mixture diluted with an unlabelled sample of amino acids, the 3H: 14C ratio in the resulting 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) amino acid derivatives of the diluted sample will be increased in proportion to the quantity of unlabelled amino acid in the diluted sample. This procedure gave reliable results when applied to the known proteins insulin and lysozyme. The procedure is most advantageous when applied to amino acids which are unstable during acid hydrolysis or present in low molar fractions.When applied to the analysis of the bacteriorhodopsin in Halobacterium cutirubrum, this procedure showed the presence of one histidine residue and four tryptophan residues per mole protein but no cystine or cysteine; in general, the analyses obtained were consistent with those originally reported by Oesterhelt, D. and Stoeckenius, W. (1971) (Nature (London) New Biol. 233, 149–152) for bacteriorhodopsin of H. halobium.

AbstractThe quantitation and qualification of amino acids are most commonly used in clinical and epidemiological studies, and provide an excellent way of monitoring compounds in human fluids which have not been monitored previously, to prevent some diseases. Because of this, it is not surprising that scientific interest in evaluating these compounds has resurfaced in recent years and has precipitated the development of a multitude of new analytical techniques. This review considers recent developments in HPLC analytics on the basis of publications from the last few years. It helps to update and systematize knowledge in this area. Particular attention is paid to the progress of analytical methods, pointing out the advantages and drawbacks of the various techniques used for the preparation, separation and determination of amino acids. Depending on the type of sample, the preparation conditions for HPLC analysis change. For this reason, the review has focused on three types of samples, namely urine, blood and cerebrospinal fluid. Despite time-consuming sample preparation before HPLC analysis, an additional derivatization technique should be used, depending on the detection technique used. There are proposals for columns that are specially modified for amino acid separation without derivatization, but the limit of detection of the substance is less beneficial. In view of the fact that amino acid analyses have been performed for years and new solutions may generate increased costs, it may turn out that older proposals are much more advantageous.
