Abstract
A DETAILED chemical analysis of the amino-acid composition of salmine (from a commercial source) was presented by Block and Boiling1, who used chemical and microbiological techniques. The amino-acids found were arginine, alanine, isoleucine, proline, serine and valine. Tristram2 confirmed the presence of these, and in addition demonstrated that glycine was also a constituent.
