, p. 679 - 682 (1986)
It has been reported elsewerw that Vigna radiata seeds contain a high concentration of γ-glutamyl-S-methylcysteine and its sulphoxide and that these compounds serve as index compounds for the chemotaxonomy of V. radiata.Beside these two γ-glutamyl peptides, nine other γ-glutamyl derivatives, of which three are new compounds, have been isolated and identified from V. radiata seeds.The structures of the new peptides, γ-glutamyl-S-methylcysteinyl-β-alanine (S-methylhomoglutathione), γ-glutamyl-Nδ-acetylornithine and γ-glutamyl-γ-glutamyl-S-methylcysteine, were confirmed by direct comparison with synthetic specimens.The other six γ-glutamyl derivatives were homoglutathione, γ-glutamyl glutamic acid, -aspartic acid, -phenylalanine, -leucine and -isoleucine.Key Word Index- Vigna radiata; Leguminosae; seeds; γ-glutamyl peptides; γ-glutamyl-S-methylcystenyl-β-alanine (S-methylhomoglutathione); γ-glutamyl-Nδ-acetylornithine; γ-glutamyl-γ-glutamyl-S-methylcysteine; homoglutathione; γ-glutamyl derivatives.

Decomposition of copper-amino acid complexes by sodium sulfide
Nowshuddin, Shaik,Reddy, A. Ram
, p. 5159 - 5161 (2007/10/03)
Sodium sulfide very efficiently removes copper from protected amino acid-copper complexes. The copper in the amino acid complex was reduced to insoluble cuprous sulfide and the free amino acid was released in pure form. This method is very convenient and rapid, requiring only 5-10 min and 0.55-0.75 equiv of sodium sulfide.
