Abstract
Nicolet and Shinn1 and Van Slyke et al.2 have studied the action of periodic acid on hydroxyaminoacids, and in the cases of serine and hydroxylysine have demonstrated the rapid formation of one molecule of formaldehyde. Block and Boiling3 have made use of the rapid formation of one molecule of acetaldehyde from threonine on oxidation with lead tetracetate for determining this amino-acid in protein hydrolysates.
