We studied the effects of L-phenylalanine and alpha-methylphenylalanine on 32P in vitro incorporation into cytoskeletal proteins from cerebral cortex of 17-day-old rats. Slices of cerebral cortex were incubated in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of L-phenylalanine, alpha-methylphenylalanine or

Enantiomeric separation of two aromatic alpha-substituted alanine esters was achieved on two commercially available polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases (CSPs): amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (ADMPC) and cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) (CDMPC). The interactions between enantiomeric analytes and the CSPs were investigated using chromatographic methods and
