Determination of asparagine, glutamine and pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid in total enzymic hydrolysates of peptides and glycopeptides by gas–liquid chromatography
pA new procedure for the qualitative and quantitative determination of asparagine, glutamine and pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid in total enzymic hydrolysates of peptides and glycopeptides based on g.l.c. has been developed. Under the conditions of esterification and trifluoroacetylation iN/i-trifluoroacetylaspartic acid mono-in/i-butyl ester was formed from asparagine and iN/i-trifluoroacetylglutamic acid mono-in/i-butyl ester from both glutamine and pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid. To distinguish between the latter two compounds, the esterification was carried out at room temperature yielding 30% of esterified pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid but less than 1% of esterified glutamine. In extending the g.l.c. of amino acids, the previously unknown positions in the g.l.c. elution pattern of the following amino acids could also be reproducibly determined: carboxymethylcysteine, homoserine, hydroxylysine and ∈-methyl-lysine. Further, certain glycopeptides were investigated and the artifacts due to their carbohydrate moieties were determined./p
