摘要

Our chemical studies on Cycas circinalis seeds from Guam has provided two new nonprotein amino acids, N-(3'-one-5'-methyl)-hexylalanine and leucine betaine. N-methylisoleucine, previously reported as a component of naturally occurring peptides, has been isolated as a free amino acid from the seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris (pinto bean), together with S-methylcysteine, pipecolic acid and a dipeptide, gamma-glutamyl-leucine.
