Gas chromatographic analysis of histidine: effect on other amino acids present. 1988

Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, L. Eötvös University, Budapest, Hungary.

Earlier proposals aimed at increasing the detector responses of histidine in gas chromatographic analysis have been compared and contrasted with regard to their effect on the other amino acids present. Twenty-one amino acids have been measured in the form of their N,O,(S)-trifluoroacetyl (TFA) isobutyl esters. Detector responses of the amino acid N,O,(S)-TFA isobutyl esters of dichloromethane solutions alone and mixed with acetic anhydride were recorded and compared with those of other TFA esters. Reproducibility data for chosen representative amino acid N,O,(S)-TFA isobutyl esters are presented.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
