Among the three chiral columns, CHIROBIOTIC T™, CHIRLPAK WH, and CHIRALCEL OD‐R, tested for the separation of racemic amino acids and N ‐acetyl‐amino acids, only CHIROBIOTIC T™ chiral column which is based on covalently bonded amphoteric glycopeptide, teicoplanin, as the stationary phase ligand could be successfully developed to enantiomerically separate racemic amino acids and N ‐acetyl amino acids simultaneously. This method can be used to determine the enantiomeric composition of amino acids and N ‐acetyl‐amino acids in the catalysis of D‐aminoacylase or L‐aminoacylase and the conversion rate of N ‐acylamino acid racemases.
