氨基酸稳定氮同位素(δ^(15)N)分析能准确有效地评估生物体的营养级以及氮在食物链中的流动。本研究优化了氨基酸氮同位素的分析方法:样品在酸性条件下水解后,释放出的蛋白质氨基酸经阳离子交换树脂纯化后,衍生为对应的N-新戊酰基,O-异...氨基酸稳定氮同位素(δ^(15)N)分析能准确有效地评估生物体的营养级以及氮在食物链中的流动。本研究优化了氨基酸氮同位素的分析方法:样品在酸性条件下水解后,释放出的蛋白质氨基酸经阳离子交换树脂纯化后,衍生为对应的N-新戊酰基,O-异丙醇(N-pivaloyl-isopropyl,NPP)酯,利用气相色谱-燃烧-同位素比值质谱仪(Gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio mass spectrometry,GC-C-IRMS)测定其δ^(15)N。经非极性气相色谱柱DB-5ms分离后,13种氨基酸NPP酯衍生物均可得到良好的基线分离。在样品量不低于20 ng N条件下,GC-C-IRMS方法的精密度优于1‰,测得的δ^(15)N值与EA-IRMS法测得的δ^(15)N值没有明显差异。阳离子树脂纯化前后各氨基酸δ^(15)N值差异低于1‰,表明没有产生明显的同位素分馏。采用本方法成功地估算了阿哈湖生态系统中常见水生生物的营养级,可作为研究氨基酸代谢以及生态系统特征的新方法。展开更多

Unlike hydrocarbons, amino acids require derivatization prior to GC-C-IRMS analysis. Replicate carbon isotope analyses of trifluoroacetyl isopropyl ester derivatives of 17 amino acids by IRMS revealed that the derivatization process is reproducible. Due to a reproducible isotopic fractionation an empirical correction factor for each individual amino acid is derived separately for derivatives and the original δ^13C value of the underivatized amino acid is calculated.展开更多
