Abstract
The walls of C. poinsettiae contain a few free amino groups. These yield a-DNP-ornithine. The DNP derivative of the cell walls was photolabile, so that these ornithine residues must have been linked only by their 8-amino groups, both the a-amino group and the carboxyl group being free.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
