β¦ Synopsis
The phenylthiohydantoins (Pth) of the common amino acids can be resolved in a single analysis using a 25 x 0.46cm DuPont Zorbax cyanopropylsilane (CN) column developed with a gradient of methanol/acetonitrile (17:3) in sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.4. The Zorbax CN columns exhibit greater durability, reproducibility, and sensitivity than do columns with an octadecylsilane (C,,) support when used for Pth amino acid analysis in automated polypeptide sequencing.

All the organic soluble amino acid phenylthiohydantoins are eluted (but not totally resolved) in under 40 min on either a Zorbax ODS or Permaphase ETH column. The superior resolution of the Zorbax ODS column and the complimentary characteristic of the Permaphase ETH column allow the isocratic analys
All common phenyhhiohydantoin amino acids derived from sequencing are identifiable in 6 to 9 min with an isocratic method based on buffered aqueous acetonitrile, an ODS stationary phase, and programmed flow which increases during the run. With constant flow the analysis requires 16 min. The effects
