โฆ Synopsis
Sixteen amino acid thiohydantoins encountered during COOH-terminal degradation of peptides and proteins with ammonium thiocyanate have been separated and identified by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography using a DuPont Zorbax ODS column and a novel procedure for preparation of thiohydantoin derivative of serine and threonine is described. Three isocratic systems were employed: System 1, buffer A alone (0.01 N sodium acetate, pH 4.5); system 2, 10% acetonitrile in buffer A; system 3, 24% acetonitrile in buffer A. All 16 thiohydantoins could be resolved using a combination of systems 1, 2, and 3. The method is rapid and sensitive (1 nmol) and constitutes a step toward automation of the solid-phase COOH-terminal sequencing method.

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
## Dimethylaminoazobenzene-thiohydantoins of amino acid can be quantitatively analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography at picomole level. As little as 5 to 10 pmol of dimethylaminoazobenzene-thiohydantoins of amino acid can easily be detected in the visible region (436 nm) against a stable
The direct resolution of racemic jasmonic acid (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA), as the free acids, into the corresponding enantiomers by high performance liquid chromatography on a Nucleodex p-PM column is reported. The resolution factors (R,,,=1.38; R,,,,=1.65) were such that the method could be appli
