Amino Acid Analysis

Required in many disciplines and applications– Components of proteins– Metabolic intermediates– “Bound vs. Free”– Nutritional value of foods and feeds

Difficult analytical problem– Separation

o Wide range of propertieso Slight differences between pairs

– Detectiono No chromophoreo Wide concentration range

Separation of Amino Acids

Cation-exchange– Original method for amino acid analysis

– Large historical data base of uncommon amino acids

– Realistic run times near 30-60min

Reversed-phase HPLC of derivatized amino acids– Best separation selectivity

– Best sensitivity

– Shortest run times

Detection of Separated Amino Acids

Post-column Reaction– Ninhydrin or OPA with ion-exchange most common

– ESI-MS with reversed phase HPLC and no derivatization

– Pulsed Amperometric Detection

Pre-column derivatization– Many reagents used successfully; some commercialized

– Add UV or fluorescence detectability

– Improve chromatography

– Usually faster and more sensitive

– Successful use requires care

Design Considerations

Base new method on AccQ-Tag™ Derivatization– Established chemistry– Well understood control of reaction– Simple manual derivatization of batches

Base new method on ACQUITY UPLC™ H-Class System– Highest resolution– Well-controlled column chemistry– Quality-tested eluents– Established and available instrumentation

Base new method on Empower Software– Fully-compliance ready– Method templates– Custom calculations

Analysis of Protein Hydrolysates

Purified Proteins or Simple Pharmaceutical Formulations

Confirmation of Protein Identity

Determination of Protein Amount

Requirements– Unequivocal peak identification

– Two order-of-magnitude linear dynamic range

Limitations– Destruction of Tryptophan, Asparagine, and Glutamine

– Variable, but poor recovery of sulfur-containing amino acids

– Other variables in hydrolysis procedure

– Matrix interference

– Compositional accuracy on the order of 5%

Amino Acid AnalysisClasses of Analysis

Components of proteins - “Bound” amino acids

Metabolic intermediates - “Free” amino acids– Building blocks for protein

– Source of nitrogen for the synthesis of compounds such as nucleotide bases or vitamins

– Biomarkers in metabolic and genetic studies

– Surplus amino acids are used as metabolic fuel

Amino Acids as Biomarkers

Free Amino Acids– Nutrients

– Metabolic intermediates

– Waste products

Qualitative and Quantitative Profile– Genotype of food

– Origin

Practical Application– Process Monitoring

– Identity and adulteration

Hydrolysis of Feeds

Acid Hydrolysis– 6N/Constant Boiling HCl, 105° for 24 hours– Sample suspended in 10-100-fold weight excess of acid– Sealed and heated– Best method for complex samples– Destroys some amino acids

Oxidation before hydrolysis for cysteine and methionine

Alkaline hydrolysis for tryptophan

Cumbersome– Long hydrolysis time– Bulky apparatus requirements, especially for multiple samples
