The biosynthesis of enamel matrix components of developing rat incisors was investigated by measuring the incorporation of /sup 3/H-proline, /sup 32/P-phosphate, and /sup 35/S-sulfate in vivo. /sup 3/H- and /sup 32/P-radioactivity was found in what seemed to be a prototype of enamel proteins. Subsequent shifts in other protein and peptide fractions were observed. /sup 35/S was also incorporated into components other than the above-mentioned proteins.
