Application of d,l-FDLA derivatization to determination of absolute configuration of constituent amino acids in peptide by advanced Marfey's method

A derivatization procedure including d,l-FDLA was developed for the advanced Marfey's method which is an unempirical method for the determination of the absolute configuration of an amino acid. The procedure was successfully applied to the determination of the absolute configuration of Ahp, one of constituent amino acids in aeruginopeptin 228-A (1).
