Research Abstract |
This research project developed a high intelligent amino acidanalyzer consisted of following components. (1) Separation system; Amino acid separation was based on a reversed-phase ion-pair high performance liquid chromatography using a octadecylsilyl silica gel column with aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate as a mobile phase. In this separation system, 17 protein amino acids and ammonia were completely resolved within only 12 min. The analyzing time was 4 to 5 times shorter than conventional ion-exchange separation. (2) Detection system; Amino acids eluted from the above separation system were converted to fluorescence compounds in a online reaction system. The fluorescence reaction comprised of two steps, oxidative cleavage of imino acids such as proline to primary amino compounds by sodium hypochlorite, and fluorescence development with o- phthalaldehyde/N-acetyl-L-cysteine reagent. The use of this system facilitated the detection of imino acids at the same concentration level as that of amino acids. The detection limit for all imino and amino acids was a few picomoles. (3) Data processing system; By use of computer aided data processing system, protein samples were directly identified. The computer program contained a processing part for chromatgraphic data and calculating part for correlation factor based on amino acid contents of known proteins.
