Amino Acid Handbook

An in-depth analysis of chromatography literature and procedures since 1981 is presented in this publication. Featured is a compre-hensive range of tables relating to the chromatographic separation and determination of amino acids, amines, and their derivatives. Methods of sample preparation and derivatization and methods of detection are described. Included are techniques for the liquid and gas chro-matographic separation of free amino acids and their derivatives, including o-phthalaldehyde, dansyl, and phenylthiolaydantoin deriva-tives. The separation of amino acid enantiomers is also described. This book will be invaluable to chemists, biochemists, and analysts involved in the separation and determination of amino acids or amines and their derivatives.

Protein chemistry is a wide field embracing the analysis, synthesis, sequencing and separation of peptides, proteins and individual amino acids. Practical protein chemistry is a survey of proven techniques designed primarily to be a laboratory handbook for research workers involved with proteins.

These volumes provide a reference source of different gas chro-matographic, liquid chromatographic, or thin-layer chromatographic techniques for the qualitative determination of various therapeutic agents, including antibiotics, vitamins and hormones, drugs of abuse in body fluids, dosage forms, or food stuffs. Over 5000 publi-cations were reviewed to prepare tables of chromatographic data for 800 compounds, arranged alphabetically by generic drug name or by drug groups. A detailed summary of the extraction procedure de-scribed in each publication included in the table of a particular drug is also provided. This easy-to-read handbook is useful for se-lecting an appropriate chromatographic procedure for the determi-nation of a given compound according to the available facilities.

This edition focuses solely on proteins, amino acids venom toxins and peptides, haemoglobin. It also gives us very detailed information regarding cell types, anti-bodies, infrared testing on protein cells and membrane studies.

First published in 1983, this book serves as an essential guide to the process of chromatography. Carefully compiled and arranged with an abundance of diagrams, tables and references. This book serves as a useful resource for students of biochemistry, and other practitioners in their respective fields.
