title: Separation and quantification of angiotensins and some related peptides by high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A high-performance chromatographic technique for the separation of angiotensins and some related peptides is described. Complete separation of angiotensin I, angiotensin II, tetradecapeptide and the tetrapeptide Leu-Val-Tyr-Ser is achieved in a single step, using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The application of this technique for the detection of renin activity in crude biological samples, employing the artificial renin substrate tetradecapeptide, is demonstrated.
