Isolation and structure determination of a new amino acid, alpha-amino-gamma, delta-dihydroxyadipic acid, from the hydrolysate of normal human urine.
A new acidic amino acid has been isolated from the hydrolysate of normal human urine. The chemical structure of the amino acid was determined to be alpha-amino-gamma, delta-dihydroxyadipic acid, based on its physical properties involving nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared and mass spectrometry as well as chemical degradation and chemical synthesis.
