β¦ Synopsis
When a twofold excess of metal ions (CL?, Ni*+, Zn*+, Mg*+, Ca*+, Fe'+, and A?+) was added to a reaction medium of amino acids (l-50 pM each) with the fluorogenic reagents NBD-F (4-fluoro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole), DNS-Cl (5N,Ndimethylaminonaphthalenesulfonyl chloride), OPA (o-phthalaldehyde), and fluorescamine (4-phenylspiro[furan-2(3H),l'-phthalanl-3,3'-dione), a reduction of derivatization was observed. The effect was especially marked on the reaction with NBD-F. The derivatization of His and Asp with DNS-Cl and fluorescamine and of His with OPA was suppressed by CL? and/or Ni*+. The suppression by the metal ions can be overcome by the addition of EDTA to the reaction medium. For determination of a small amount of amino and imino acids (less than pM) the addition of a chelating reagent to biological samples is recommended before derivatization with these electrophilic reagents. o 1985 Academic PUSS.
