Abstract
THE new sensitive methods of recognizing amino-acids (for example, paper chromatography) make it necessary to re-examine the degradation products appearing after hydrolysis of non-protein substances containing nitrogen in biological material under investigation. It is, for example, important to know whether significant amounts of amino-acids can occur in hydrolysates of purines and pyrimidines, and obscure the results of amino-acid analysis of nucleoproteins.
