Origin of amido-¹

Origin of amido-¹

from amide

It came to be realized that the fundamental discovery of Griess was capable of being extended to all kinds of amido-compounds.

It is an amido-derivative of a sulpho-acid of beta-naphthol, so that naphthalene is the generating hydrocarbon of this substance.

Experiments show that no flavor develops until the amido acids and ammonia are formed.

The question arises whether these intermediate compounds must be found before other agents can form the amido acids and ammonia.

It will be interesting, however, to mention some of the amido acids and groups commonly occurring in proteids.
