Microchimica Acta Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The use of a range of constants related to refractive index for the identification of amino acids is described. These constants may be determined microscopically and, combined with eutectic melting temperatures, permit identification of a range of 39 amino acids examined in this study.

Zusammenfassung

Die Anwendung physikalischer, mit dem Brechungsindex zusammenhängender Konstanten für die Identifizierung von Aminosäuren wurde beschrieben. Diese Konstanten lassen sich mikroskopisch ermitteln und geben in Kombination mit eutektischen Temperaturen die Möglichkeit, 39 verschiedene, in dieser Arbeit untersuchte Aminosäuren zu identifizieren.

Résumé

On décrit l'emploi d'une série de constantes en rapport avec l'indice de réfraction pour l'identification des acides aminés. Ces constantes peuvent être déterminées par microscopie et, combinées avec les températures de fusion de l'eutectique, permettent l'identification d'une série de 39 acides aminés étudiés au cours de cette recherche.
