چکیده
A simple method for the determination of tryptophan residues in proteins is described. The method involves (a) treatment of the protein with an excess of 2-hydroxy-Snitrobenzyl bromide, (b) purification of the labeled protein by gel filtration and ethanol washing, (c) measurement of the absorbance at 410 rnp to determine the number of colored groups incorporated, and (d) a determination of the total protein content by conventional methods. The procedure has been shown to be accurate with a wide variety of proteins.

The Tauber perchioric acid method and the Fischl colorimetric procedure were combined into a quantitative method for tryptophan that is applicable directly to proteins without hydrolysis. The colorimetric tryptophan method was compared with both salt fractionation and electrophoretic methods for 26 normal sera and those from 51 patients with various chronic diseases. Analysis of the results for...
متن کاملNew Enzymatic Colorimetric Method for the Quantitative Determination of Phenylalanine in Dry-Blood Spots
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder, which is characterized by severe mental retardation, microcephaly and seizures. The symptoms of this disease can be prevented if detected soon after birth. Therefore, blood Phenylalanine (Phe) measurement is essential for the early diagnosis, treatment and dietary monitoring of PKU patients. The goal of this research was to introduce a r...
متن کاملQuantitative colorimetric determination of tryptophan.
The methods currently used for the estimation of tryptophan are based on one of the following principles: Reaction with aldehydes in acid solution (1, Z), with glyoxylic acid (3), with mercury salts and nitrous acid (4,5), by determination after isolation from its mercury salt (6)) or by the use of Marshal’s reagent (7). Of the above mentioned methods, those based on aldehyde reactions and on t...
