- Tetrapeptide A is completely hydrolysed under acidic conditions to yield alanine, aspartic acid, isoleucine and valine. On neutralisation of the hydrolysate, an odour of ammonia is detected. The reaction of the tetrapeptide with phenylisothiocyanate, followed by mild hydrolysis yields no phenylthiohydantoin derivative. Incubation of A with carboxypeptidase A has no effect either.
