Investigation of amino acid changes in self-sustaining coacervates in presence of alpha-naphthyl amine and beta-naphthyl amine.
Pronounced variation of amino acids was exhibited. Phenylalanine and tryptophan were invariably present, except at very few exposure periods. Methionine was perceived in many studies in alpha-naphthylamine, while in the study of beta-naphthylamine it was observed at four days' exposure. alpha-Naphthylamine produced cysteine along with tyrosine, leucine, isoleucine, and norleucine, while beta-naphthylamine gave valine along with tyrosine, leucine, isoleucine, and norleucine. Complete variation from blank signifies the effect of alpha- and beta-naphthyl amine on the mixture.
