Cysteine residues in polypeptides are not easily identified during automated N-terminal sequence analysis. Reaction of cysteine side chains with 4-vinylpyridine and identification as the pyridylethylated phenylthiohydantion derivative (PE-PTH-Cys) were proposed. However, after this reaction a desalting step is necessary. If

Two liquid chromatographic methods that involve precolumn derivatization with o-phthaladehyde (OPA) and phenylisothiocyanate (PITC) with fluorescence and diode array UV detection for the determination of theanine have been developed. The chromatographic separations were achieved by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using
