Preparation of some long-chain N-acyl derivatives of essential amino acids for nutritional studies.
Long-chain N-acyl derivatives of methionine, tryptophan, threonine, and lysine (N6) have been obtained by the reaction of succinimidyl esters of fatty acids with the unprotected amino acids. Their physical properties have been characterized.
