✦ Synopsis


In the course of a study of reflecting materials in fish eyesl, we have isolated from the alligator gar Lepisosteus spatula a new amino acid whose structure has been established as 2,5-S,S-dicysteinyldopa (Ia). An acid extract (lM HCl) of 50 eyes was passed on to a Dowex-SOW x4 (H+ form) column and, after washing with 1M HCl, the amino acid was eluted with 6M HCl, and then chromatographed on Sephadex LH-20, using MeOH:lM HCl 19:l as eluent. The amino acid was further purified by paper chromatography in n-PrOH:lM HCl 3:2 and converted to the formate by passing through a Dowex-2 x8 (formate form) column. Chromatography on

Protected S-pyroglutamic acid can be deprotonated specifically at the y-position. The resulting enolate can be converted into y-carboxyglutamic acid in optically pure form. The naturally occurring aminoacid r\_carboxyglutamtc acid (1; Gla) is a constituent of prothrombin and other proteins.1 The nat
