Question
Chapter 21.5, Problem 16P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The showing off six spots in the separation of mixture of seven amino acids by chromatography should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Ninhydrin forms colored imine product when reacted with an amino acid.
The mixture of amino acids can be separated by chromatography on the basis of their difference in polarities.
Chromatography is technique to separate mixture of compounds by using a stationary phase and a mobile phase, in which mobile phase carry the compounds one by one on the basis of their polarities.

A mixture of seven amino acids (glycine, glutamate, leucine, lysine, alanine, isoleucine, and aspartate) is separated by chromatography. Explain why only six spots show up when the chromatographic plate is coated with ninhydrin and heated.

stationary phase is a silica-coated plate. For the mobile phase, he used 50% ethyl acetate in
hexane. The mixture contained three (3) amino acids whose structures are shown below.

- About a decade ago, it was more common to use peptide mass mapping to identify a protein cut from a gel. Peptide mass mapping involves digesting the protein with trypsin and then measuring the peptide masses using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The more superior method of identifying a protein from a gel is to digest the protein with trypsin and then use liquid chromatography to separate the peptides. The separated peptides are then electrosprayed into a tandem mass spectrometer. The MS-MS data is uploaded into a database such as MASCOT for protein identification. Explain why the LC-MS-MS method is superior to the peptide mass mapping method.arrow_forwardA semi-purified crude extract(SP) was tested against five known phenolic compounds, namely: (1) Quercetin, (2) Rutin, (3) Gallic acid, (4) Catechin, and (5) Ellagic acid.
