β¦ Synopsis
A convenient and sensitive method was developed for the determination of the optical configuration of cystathionine in microscale. The technique consists of the reductive desulfuration of cystathionine to alanine and a-amino-n-butyric acid with Raney nickel and the chromatographic resolution of the diastereoisomeric L-leucyl dipeptides of both the desulfuration products. Examples used for cystathionine isolated from natural sources, a commercial product, and a synthetic specimen were presented.

A modification of the method of hydroxyproline determination in proteins was devised. The modification consists of the hydrolysis of proteins in 72% perchloric acid of 100Β°C for 2 hr instead of 20 hr, autoclaving in 6 N HCl or 2 N Ba(OH)\*. Determination of hydroxyproline by the modified method does
## Abstract A novel and very accurate method was established for the determination of the optical purity of a peptide by use of the following procedure: (1) hydrolysis of the peptide in deuterium chloride, (2) gas chromatographic separation of each amino acid enantiomer on a chiral phase, and (3) d
