Biochemical Studies on Skipjack (Katsuwonus vagans)-IV

Distribution of Amino-Acid in Pyloric Coeca

Abstract

Amino-acids containing in pyloric coeca of skipjack were examined by paper partition chromatography.
For this experiment authors used the many fractions treated with various reagents. As the results of above mentioned examinations, they ascertained that in pyloric coeca next 15 aminoacids or its relational. substance were included: tyrosine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glycine, alanmc. threonine. arginine, serine, leucine, valine, proline, cystine, lysine, histidine, ornithine and one of unknown substance.
By the case of acidic and basic amino-acids Rf value often got out of normal place, but its cause could not be decided in this experiment.
