The decomposition of tryptophan in aqueous HC1 at 100�C has been shown to proceed by a free-radical autoxidation mechanism. The acid functions by protonating the amino acid at either the 1- or 3-positions prior to autoxidation and so 1-methyltryptophan is also decomposed under these conditions. Impurities present in the soda glass containers used are shown to be responsible for the initiation of the reaction. The decomposition of tryptophan during the acid hydrolysis of proteins is considered in the light of these results.

Acid hydrolysis of a protein in the presence of D-mannitol, a common constituent of marine algae, can cause significant reductions in the recovery of a number of amino acids. The new compounds formed by the interactions of D-mannitol and these amino acids may interfere in the chromatographic analysis of other amino acids. The recoveries of most of the amino acids appear to be either directly or inversely proportional to the amount of D-mannitol added to a protein sample before acid hydrolysis. These results suggest that it is necessary to determine the effects of contaminants in a sample of protein(s) on the recoveries of amino acids during routine acid hydrolysis. Key words: kelp, amino acids, carbohydrates, D-mannitol

The amino acids set free by proteolytic enzymes were determined with an amino acid analyzer. Soil and enzyme blanks were subtracted. Pronase released 2 to 10% of the aspartic acid + asparagine, threonine, serine, glutamic acid + glutamine, glycine, lysine and histidine in some fractions of soil organic matter along with 15–35% of the alanine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and arginine. There was no release of proline, ornithine or ammonia. When the pronase hydrolysate was treated with leucine amino-peptidase, 15% of the proline was released, the yield of glycine was raised from 2 to 14% and the amount of the acidic amino acids was also higher. Acid hydrolysis of the pronase hydrolysate also released more amino acid material but the blanks were much higher than with leucine aminopeptidase. The results suggested that more than half of the aspartic and glutamic acids found on acid hydrolysis were present in the soil organic matter fractions as asparagine and glutamine. The action of pronase on the organic matter of the intact soil was slight, even in the presence of a complexing agent. Papain released very little amino acid material from organic matter fractions, but leucine aminopeptidase or HCl hydrolysis of the papain hydrolysate released about 10% of the amino acid of the fraction, indicating that significant amounts of peptides were formed on papain treatment.

Microwave energy, at manually-adjusted, partial power settings has been used to hydrolyse bovine serum albumin at 125 °C. Hydrolysis was complete within 2 h, except for valine and isoleucine which were completely liberated within 4 h. The aminoacid destruction was less than that observed at similar hydrolysis conditions with other methods and complete hydrolysis was achieved more rapidly. These results provide a basis for automating the process of amino-acid hydrolysis.

Wool has been reduced and extracted by urea-mercaptoethanol solution and the cysteine residues labelled by carboxymethylation with 2-[14C]iodoacetate. The extracted protein has been fractionated into the three main classes of protein present in wool, namely the high-sulphur, low-sulphur, and high-glycine-high-aromatic amino acid fractions. After partial acid hydrolysis of each fraction, peptide maps were prepared by paper ionophoretic and chromatographic methods and the S-carboxymethyl- containing peptides located by radioautography. The peptide maps given by the three fractions were almost identical in the peptides obtained, although marked differences in intensities were apparent. However, radioautographs of peptide maps of tryptic digests of the three fractions showed marked differences in the peptide patterns obtained. The findings are discussed in relation to the structure and synthesis of wool.
