For the isolation of pure amino acids from protein hydrolysates, it is advantageous to have available chromatographic systems in which the eluants can be removed by simple evaporation. The method previously outlined in preliminary form, wherein amino acids are eluted from a sulfonated polystyrene resin (Dowex 50-X8) with HC1, has proved useful for this pur-pose, but the resolving power has not been sufficient to permit isolationof all of the common constituents of protein hydrolysates. In the procedure described in the present communication, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and tyrosine are isolated by passage of the hydrolysate over a 30-cm. column of the acetate form of Dowex 1-X8 (a strongly basic resin) using 0.5 N acetic acid as eluant, and the remaining components of the mixture are separated on a 150-cm. columnof Dowex 50-X4 by elution with 1 to 4 Nhc1.Ion-exchange columns have been utilized in a number of different ways for the isolation of amino acids. The chromatographic methods of high resolving power developed for quantitative analysis1· 2 can be used for preparative purposes if the amino acids are separated from thenon-volatile buffer salts by cycling the effluent over cationic or anionic res-ins. 3· 4 For example, the amino acid 3-methylhisti-dine was isolated from urine in this manner by Tallan, et al. 6 Using volatile ammonium formate and acetate buffers, which are removable by sublimation at 40, a system for the isolation of amino acids has been recently devised,® which is also sufficiently mild to be applicablein principle to the preparation of peptides or other substances that might be labile in acid solution. The displacement development methodsof Partridge and associates are fre-quently advantageous, in view of their greater capacity, if the higher resolving power of elution analysis isnot required. 6
