Peptides and proteins are formed by linking successive amino acids into chains or rings. The order (sequence) and types of amino acids determine the chemical and physical properties of peptides and proteins. 

Analytical Procedures. Standard methods for analysis of food-grade adipic acid are described ia the Food Chemicals Codex (see Refs, ia Table 8). Classical methods are used for assay (titration), trace metals (As, heavy metals as Pb), and total ash. Water is determined by Kad-Fisher titration of a methanol solution of the acid. Determination of color ia methanol solution (APHA, Hazen equivalent, max. 10), as well as iron and other metals, are also described elsewhere (175). Other analyses frequendy are required for resia-grade acid. For example, hydrolyzable nitrogen (NH, amides, nitriles, etc) is determined by distillation of ammonia from an alkaline solution. Reducible nitrogen (nitrates and nitroorganics) may then be determined by adding DeVarda s alloy and continuing the distillation. Hydrocarbon oil contaminants may be determined by ir analysis of halocarbon extracts of alkaline solutions of the acid. 

The cmde dimethyl terephthalate is recovered and purified by distillation in most processes. Although distillation (qv) is generally a powerful separation technique, the mode of production of the terephthaHc acid determines its impurity content, which in turn may make purification by distillation difficult. Processes resulting in the alteration of the impurities by catalytic treatment have been developed so that distillation can perform the necessary purification. 

The following polyvitamin prepai ations were analyzed Kal tsid (OAO Comfort Plus , Russia), Asvitol (OAO INC Marbiofarm , Russia), Pikovit (KRKA, d.d. The New Place, Slovenia), Yeast with vitamin C (000 EKKO Plus , Russia). Chromatographic experiment has been carried out using Silufol UV-254 (Kavalier, Czech Republic) and acetone - ethyl acetate - acetic acid - ethanol (3 5 1 1) - CTAB (2T0 M) as a mobile phase mixture. The linearity calibration plot, built in coordinate S = f (IgqAC), is valid in the interval 5-25 p.g. Correctness of the determination has been checked by photometry. The obtained results for the ascorbic acid determination are presented below. 

The above considerations will be illustrated by the simultaneous determination of manganese and chromium in steel and other ferro-alloys. The absorption spectra of 0.001 M permanganate and dichromate ions in 1M sulphuric acid, determined with a spectrophotometer and against 1M sulphuric acid in the reference cell, are shown in Fig. 17.20. For permanganate, the absorption maximum is at 545 nm, and a small correction must be applied for dichromate absorption. Similarly the peak dichromate absorption is at 440 nm, at which permanganate only absorbs weakly. Absorbances for these two ions, individually and in mixtures, obey Beer s Law provided the concentration of sulphuric acid is at least 0.5M. Iron(III), nickel, cobalt, and vanadium absorb at 425 nm and 545 nm, and should be absent or corrections must be made.

Ea was quoted in this medium as 19.6, determined over a 40° range . However, it appears from the figure given that this value refers to 21.5 wt % acid, determined over a 30° range, the rates at 20, 40 and 50 °C being 0.92, 8.13, and 22.2, respectively.

Solutions of different carboxylic acids (fiimaric acid [FA], maleic acid, acrylic acid, succinic acid, and malonic acid) in ethanol have been effectively used as primers to increase the adhesion of synthetic vulcanized SBRs. The increase in the adhesion properties of SBR treated with carboxylic acid is attributed to the elimination of zinc stearate moieties and the deposition of acid on the rubber which migrates into the solvent-borne polyurethane adhesive layer once the adhesive joint is formed. The nature of the carboxylic acid determines the rate of diffusion into the adhesive and the extent of rubber-adhesive interfacial interaction. 

To examine this peculiar behavior, we have converted the elastic compressibility modulus, per unit area, Y (Fig. 12a), to the modulus per chain, Y = F/10 F (Fig. 12b). The elastic compressibility modulus per chain is practically constant, 0.6 0.1 pN/chain, at high densities and jumps to another constant value, 4.4 0.7 pN/chain, when the density decreases below the critical value. The ionization degree, a, of the carboxylic acid determined by FTIR spectroscopy gradually decreases with increasing chain density due to the charge regulation mechanism (also plotted in Fig. 12b). This shows that a does not account for the abrupt change in the elastic compressibihty modulus. 

The R groups of amino acids determine their unique biochemical functions. Amino acids are classified as basic, acidic, aromatic, aliphatic, or sulfur-containing based on the properties of their R groups. 

So far, we have discussed monomacrocyclic intra-annular acids, but bimacrocyclic concave benzoic acids [74a]-[74c] and [75] have also been synthesized and their acidities determined at 25°C by photometric measurements in ethanol (Wangnick, 1991). Table 17 compares the (ethanol) values. No general trend could be found for the acidity of concave benzoic acids [74] and [75]. While [75] with 3,5-disubstituted outer phenyl rings was slightly more acidic than benzoic or acetic acid, [74] with 2,6-disubstituted outer phenyl rings was much less acidic than the non-macrocyclic analogues. 

The equilibrium constant for the proton transfer reaction of benzoic acid, determined in Example, is 6.4 X 10. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of benzoic acid and benzoate anions in a 5.0 X 10 M aqueous solution of the acid. 

A solution contains 0.125 mol of solid sodium acetate dissolved in 1.00 L of 0.250 M acetic acid. Determine the concentrations of hydronium ions, acetate ions, and acetic acid. 

Portions (50 mU MCA-hydrolsing activity) of purified CinnAE were incubated at 37°C with SBP (10 mg), both in the presence and absence of other carbohydrases, in 100 mM MOPS (pH 6.0) in a final volume of 1 mL. Incubations containing boiled enzyme were performed as controls. Reactions were terminated by boiling (3 min) and the amount of free ferulic acid determined using a method described previously for de-starched wheat bran [18]. The total amount of alkali-extractable ferulic acid present in the SBP was 0.87% [5]. 

Measuring and Using Numbers From the mass of oxalic acid used and the molar mass of oxalic acid, determine and record the number of moles of oxalic acid. 

As a more sensitive detection method, MS can be very useful in amino acid determinations. For example, S-carboxymethyl-(R) cysteine or SCMC, is a mucolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory diseases. The development of a method utilizing high performance IEC and atmospheric pressure ionization (API) mass spectrometry to quantify SCMC in plasma has been described.66 This method is simple (no derivatization needed), rapid (inn time 16 min.), sensitive (limit of quantification 200 ng/mL in human plasma), and has an overall throughput of more than 60 analyses per day. API-MS was used successfully with IEC to determine other sulfur-containing amino acids and their cyclic compounds in human urine.67 IEC has also been used as a cleanup step for amino acids prior to their derivatization and analysis by gas chromatography (GC), either alone or in conjunction with MS.68 69...
