Title: Synthesis and biological incorporatin of icons into macromolecules for NMR study

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7355286· OSTI ID:7355286

Work has proceeded successfully to synthesize novel /sup 13/C-labeled materials for incorporation into macromolecules. Gram quantities of C-4 labeled uracil have been synthesized and incorporated, by means of a mutant bacterial strain into t-RNA. The t-RNA has been isolated, purified, and carbon-13 T/sub 1/ studies have begun. A modern, well equipped biochemistry laboratory has become functional during the present contract period. Good progress has been made on nonenzymatic reactions of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate with selected amino actions. This effort has successfully elucidated many reaction intermediates and products. In addition, /sup 13/C containing haptens have been synthesized and screening tests have now begun on rabbits to verify the specificity of antibodies for two haptens. (auth)
