Dear colleagues, dear protein chemists,
I need to determine methionine sulphoxide in protein or peptide
hydrolysates on picomole-subnanomole level. Does someone know any effective
protocol based an amino acid analysis techniques and conversion of amino
acids to PTC-derivatives? I hydrolyse the samples in 4 M NaOH, the amino
acids are derivatized with PITC and subjected to separation on Waters
PicoTag column. Unfortunately, the results are very poor. I never can reach
simultaneous determination of MetSO and several other control amino acids.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Pawel
