A miniaturized cell based on electrochemiluminescence of tris(2,2'-bipyridi
ne) ruthenium (II) complex was prepared to determine peptides in small volu
me of 0.5 cm(3) A calibration for proline gave a straight line in the conce
ntration range 1.0 x 10(-5)similar to1.0 x 10(-3) M (correlation coefficien
t: 0.991). Stronger responses for proline and histidine than other amino ac
ids prompted us to measure some peptides Out of six peptides, PG having pro
line at the amino terminal showed the strongest response.
