Abstract
AbstractD‐amino acids and epimeric peptides/proteins can play crucial biological roles and adversely affect protein folding and oligopeptide aggregation in age‐related pathologies in humans. This has ignited interest in free D‐amino acids as well as those incorporated in peptides/proteins and their effects in humans. However, such stereoisomeric analytes are often elusive and in low abundance with few existing methodologies capable of scouting for and identifying them. In this work, we examine the feasibility of using teicoplanin aglycone, a macrocyclic antibiotic, which has been reported to strongly retain D‐amino acids and peptides with a D‐amino acid on the C‐terminus, for use as a solid phase extraction (SPE) medium. The HPLC retention factors of L‐/D‐amino acids and C‐terminus modified D‐amino acid‐containing peptides and their L‐amino acid exclusive counterparts on teicoplanin aglycone are presented. Retention curve differences between amino acids and peptides highlight regions of solvent composition that can be utilized for their separation. This approach is particularly useful when coupled with enzymatic hydrolysis via carboxypeptidase Y to eliminate all L‐amino acid exclusive peptides. The remaining peptides with carboxy‐terminal D‐amino acids are then more easily concentrated and identified.
