Fig. 21From: Thermal decomposition of the amino acids glycine, cysteine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, glutamine, arginine and histidineOverview of the residues with respect to H2O or NH3 contents. All residues are obtained by ejection of 0, \(\frac {1}{2}\), 1, \(1\frac {1}{2}\) or 2 mols of H2O or NH3, placing them on two axes. All residues contain either 0, \(\frac {1}{2}\) or 1 mol NH3 or H2O, placing them on two axes. Most of them contain peptide bonds. The polysuccinimide of D and N is an exception, cysteine, for lack of oxygen, the otherBack to article page
