[Abstract]  With the exception of glycine, α-amino acids are optically active, and two optical isomers (L- and D-) of each amino acid can be formed. Recent developments of analytical techniques have revealed that several free D-amino acids such as D-aspartate, D-serine and D-alanine exist in many kinds of organism including human and have biologically important roles. D-Aspartate regulates reproductive activity in animals and humans. D-Serine serves as a co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, which mediates glutamatergic neurotransmission. D-Alanine plays a role like osmolyte in crustaceans and mollusks. In this protocol, we describe a method for analysis of L- and D-amino acids using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). To analyze D- and L-amino acids, the enantiomers ... [摘要]  除了甘氨酸,α-氨基酸具有光学活性,并且可以形成每个氨基酸的两种光学异构体(L-和D-)。分析技术的最新发展表明,几种游离D-氨基酸如D-天冬氨酸,D-丝氨酸和D-丙氨酸存在于包括人在内的许多种生物中,并且具有生物学上的重要作用。 D-天冬氨酸调节动物和人的生殖活性。 D-丝氨酸作为Nε-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体的共激动剂,其介导谷氨酸能神经传递。 D-丙氨酸在甲壳类动物和软体动物中起到类似渗透物的作用。在该协议中,我们描述了使用超高效液相色谱(UPLC)分析L-和D-氨基酸的方法。为了分析D-和L-氨基酸,首先将对映异构体转化为非对映异构体(非对映异构体是与物镜和镜像无关的立体异构体,并且不是对映异构体),使用前柱衍生化,邻苯二甲醛加上Nε - 酰化的半胱氨酸(Nε - 乙酰基-L-半胱氨酸或Nε - 叔丁基氧羰基-L 。所得衍生物是荧光非对映异构体。然后使用UPLC在十八烷基硅烷基固定相上分离所得荧光异吲哚衍生物,并通过包括在UPLC系统中的荧光检测器检测荧光。使用该方法,可以分析16种D-氨基酸。
