  • Title: Amino acid analysis: determination of cysteine plus half-cystine in proteins after hydrochloric acid hydrolysis with a disulfide compound as additive.
    Author: Barkholt V, Jensen AL.
    Journal: Anal Biochem; 1989 Mar; 177(2):318-22. PubMed ID: 2729552.
    Abstract:
    All cysteine and cystine in a protein are derivatized during hydrolysis in hydrochloric acid containing 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid. The resulting derivative can be separated from other amino acids and used for quantitation of cysteine plus half-cystine. A procedure is presented for accurate determination by ion exchange chromatography and postcolumn derivatization of all amino acids from acid hydrolysis of a protein, including the Cys-derivative.
