Biochemical Journal

Abstract

Methods are described for the detection and estimation of guanidinoxy compounds, including canavanine, in biological material. Canavanine has been isolated from the seeds of the bladder senna, Colutea arborescens. A guanidinoxy compound, similar in its colour reactions to canavanine, has been detected in the seeds of Medicago arborea, M. echinus, and Ornithopus perpusillus.
