  • Conference paper
  • 178 Accesses

Abstract

The investigation of a number of important problems in research on the origins of life hinges on the determination of the configuration or enantiomeric composition of optically active substances of biological significance. There are many biological molecules which, in principle, could serve as the asymmetric probes in relevant experiments. However, for a variety of reasons, protein amino acids are, at least thus far, the most suitable class of compounds for such studies.

Previously, for instance, metal ions such as Zn(II), Co(II) and Hg(II) in conjunction with L-Pro, and ligands such as L-Pro-L-valine coordinated to Cu(II), have been found to show stereoselectivity on a reversed phase column (9); Zn(II) coordinated to L-Asp-L-Phe-O-Me has also been shown to resolve some a-amino acids in the reversed phase mode, Gilon, C., Leshem, R., Tapuchi, Y. and Grushka, E., J.
