1. Typical HPLC determination of d-Asp by the o-phthaldialdehyde-N-acetyl-l-cysteine (OPA-NAC) method in the frog brain.
Typical HPLC determination of d-Asp by the o-phthaldialdehyde-N-acetyl-l-cysteine (OPA-NAC) method in the frog brain. The peak in the chromatograms corresponds to d-Asp with a retention time of about 5 min. Broken lines represent the HPLC gradient program. (A) HPLC analysis of control frog brain. (B) HPLC analysis of d-Asp-treated frog brain. (C) HPLC analysis of d-Asp-treated frog brain after incubation with d-Asp oxidase. The marked decrease in the height of the d-Asp elution peak confirms the presence of d-Asp in the original sample.
