  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Summary

1. A method for the quantitative guanidation of the Nδ-amino groups of ornithine in polypeptides has been developed. By means of this method poly-L-arginine with a high molecular weight (about 88 000) has been obtained for the first time.

2. A statistical copolymer simultaneously including L-arginine and L-lysine residues has been synthesized for the first time.
