Popis: A paper Chromatographic method for the analysis of phenylalanine in serum is described. The amino acids, including phenylalanine, are isolated from the deproteinised serum by means of a cation exchanger. The phenylalanine is then separated by paper chromatography at elevated temperature and estimated colorimetrically. Normal values are given. The excretion of phenylalanine and phenylpyruvic acid is correlated with the serum phenylalanine level. The method is specific and the reproducibility is good. Its application in a case of phenylketonuria is reported.
