Abstract:
The collagen study includes the analysis of its characteristic amino acids: proline, hydroxyproline, lysine, hydroxylysine. HPLC offers an interesting device if associated with on-line radiometric detection for the determination of radiolabelled amino acids in the case of metabolism studies. To avoid pre or post-column derivatization which may be poorly quantitative in the case of the hydrolysate of unpurified samples, we developed an ion-paired reversed-phase chromatography using a C8 column (econosphere C8 5µm, length: 250 mm, ID: 4.6 mm from Alltech Ass.) and an elution carried out with an acetonitrile gradient in heptane-sulfonate solution. A direct detection at 210 nm was used. Nineteen amino acids were separated within 40 min. Lag time was 7.3 min between hydroxyproline and proline, and 6.9 min between hydroxylysine and lysine. In the case of radiolabelled amino acid, there was a linear correlation (r = 0.92) between HPLC and ion-exchange chromatography.
