Abstract: | Analysis of amino acids is complicated by treatment with ampicillin. High voltage electrophoresis, which is convenient for the qualitative assessment of metabolic diseases, yields smears of ampicillin that mask the bands of citrulline, homocitrulline, phenylalanine, cystine, and homocystine. The addition of penicillinase prior to high voltage electrophoresis eliminates ampicillin and other penicillins and reveals these key amino acids. |
