Isolement à partir de l'hypophyse postérieure du tripeptide leucyl‐arginyl‐leucine et sa synthèse par une route nouvelle quant à l'incorporation de l'arginine

Abstract

A basic peptide isolated from hog posterior pituitary was shown to have the structure leucyl‐arginyl‐leucine. A tripeptide of the same sequence was synthesized; both the natural and the synthetic tripeptide behave identically in chromatography and electrophoresis on paper. The physiological meaning of the compound is still unknown.
