摘要:

A rapid method for the determination of tryptophan in proteins is presented. It is based on ab- sorbance measurements at 288 and 280 mp of the protein dissolved in 6 M guanidine hydrochloride. Blocked tryptophanyl (N-acetyl-L-tryptophanamide) and tyrosyl (glycyl-L-tyrosylglycine) compounds were selected as C urrent methods of protein amino acid analysis do not give quantitative values for tryptophan and conse- quently the amino acid compositions, which are other- wise complete, fail to report tryptophan values. The principal reason for this situation is that the standard procedure of protein hydrolysis in strong acid results in the destruction of tryptophan (Hill, 1965). Therefore a second procedure is required to measure tryptophan. Alkaline hydrolysis is less destructive but does not give quantitative recoveries generally (Spies and Chambers, 1949). Enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins can give quanti- tative yields of tryptophan but this method may not be generally valid (Hill and Schmidt, 1962).
