✦ Synopsis

A new technique based on liquid phase ion exchange chromatography on short column is proposed for quantitative determination of tyrosine and Dopa. alpha-Amino,beta-guanidinopropionic acid is used as an internal standard of coloration. The role of H2O2 and ascorbic acid on tyrosine and Dopa was checked. Ascorbic acid prevents the auto-oxidation of Dopa, H2O2 has no effect on tyrosine but oxidizes Dopa even in the presence of excess ascorbic acid. This method was tested in mushroom tyrosinase, with and without ascorbic acid. Assays performed with tyrosinase from rabbit ocular extracts clearly showed that they do oxidize tyrosine. Reliability of the method is comparable to radioassay.
