Phenyl vs Phenylthiohydantoin - What's the difference?

phenyl | phenylthiohydantoin |

In organic chemistry terms the difference between phenyl and phenylthiohydantoin

is that phenyl is a univalent hydrocarbon radical (C6H5) formally derived from benzene by the removal of a hydrogen atom, and the basis of an immense number of aromatic derivatives while phenylthiohydantoin is any phenyl derivative of a thiohydantoin, but especially one formed from an amino acid in the Edman method of protein degradation.
