## Abstract The kinetics of oxidation of six Ξ±βamino acids (AA) by peroxomonosulfate (PMS) ion at pH 4.2 and 35Β°C are investigated once again. The rate of disappearance of peroxomonosulfate at constant [AA] and [H^+^] follows the equation equation image The experimental results suggest that the h
Aliphatic amino acids are smoothly oxidized by peroxomonophosphoric acid (PMPA) in the pH region 6-10. Kinetic studies reveal second order dependence in the amino acid not observed hitherto in any of the PMPA oxidations. Dependence in PMPA is unity. Rate-pH profile yields a maximum around pH 8. The
Amino acids are known to react with oxidizing agents and some of the degradation products are less complex amino acids. In this study, 14 amino acids as well as fibrous corium collagen and epoxy resin-tanned collagen were reacted with a hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide-copper sulfate solution,
