Abstract A circular paper chromatographic method was developed for the separation of the amino acids in proteins into 7 subgroups. Butanol-acetic acid-water (4+1+1) was used as the developing solvent. Eluted ninhydrin-stained aminograms gave rise to graphic profiles or numerical indexes based on absorbance percentages. The profiles can be used to compare protein-containing samples. Twenty different samples were studied through 190 comparisons of graphic profiles and coefficients of correlation, with only 4% misleading results. The method showed excellent reproducibility for the identification or differentiation of proteins and has the advantage of being performed with low-priced apparatus and reagents.

Thiolysis of an O-dinitrophenyl-tyrosyl peptide results in an increased solubility in the stationary phase of a n-butanol – acetic acid – water – pyridine (15:3:12:10) (BAWP) paper chromatographic system. It is shown that this property can be used to form the basis of a diagonal paper chromatographic purification of tyrosyl peptides from enzymatic digests of proteins. The amino groups of the protein are first reacted with citraconic anhydride and then the citraconyl protein is reacted with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene. The dinitrophenyl-citraconyl protein is subjected to enzymatic digestion, applied to a strip of Whatman 3 MM paper, thiolyzed with 5% 2-mercaptoethanol in acetone, and subjected to chromatography using BAWP as solvent. A guide strip is removed, thiolyzed with 5% 2-mercaptoethanol in 25% pyridine, and resubjected to chromatography in BAWP at right angles to the original direction of chromatography. The tyrosyl peptides are displaced off the diagonal towards the origin. The off-diagonal peptides are isolated from the original chromatogram by thiolysis and chromatography using the diagonal chromatogram to locate the positions of the dinitrophenyl-tyrosyl peptides.

The work describes a one-stage method of cellulose obtaining from fir wood based on peroxide delignification of wood under mild conditions (100 °C, atmospheric pressure) in the presence of acetic acid, water and catalyst of 2% wt. H2SO4. The possibility of obtaining cellulose with a residual lignin content <1% wt. at a low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (3% wt.) in the reaction medium was established. The optimal concentrations of reagents (Н2О2 – 3% wt., CH3COOH – 38.9% wt.) and the duration of the process (4 h) were determined by experimental and calculation methods. This conditions provide a high yield of cellulose product (≥45% wt.) with a low content of residual lignin (<1% wt.). The composition and structure of fir cellulose was studied by chemical analysis and by FTIR and SEM methods. The cellulosic product which was obtained in optimal process conditions is high-quality cellulose
