The figures obtained and the official figures are almost the same.
Anomalies are however quite obvious here due to experimental error.
The largest error probably came from the measurement of the stains as
they were not spots but elongated stains. The amino acids were also
dabbed on the origins with a large drop at times which probably added
to the inaccuracy of the corresponding stains. Some stains were longer
than usual, probably because the amino acids mixed. Other sources of
error include the fact that the amino acid solutions may have been
impure. Blow drying the amino acids may have interfered with the amino
acids. The chromatography paper may have been a little
