An HPLC system has been developed in which 23 phenylthiocarbamyl (PTC) amino acids are distinctly separated. Applying this system, the preceding steps in HPLC amino acid analysis i.e. gas-phase hydrolysis of the protein/peptide sample and the pre-column derivatization, were evaluated and optimized. PTC amino acids in HPLC buffer solution are stable for at least 16 hours if stored at 5°โ8°C. The sensitivity of the method is in the low pmol range.
