Popis: L-[13N]Tyrosine and L-[13N]phenylalanine were synthesized using immobilized enzymes by two methods. In method 1, [13N]ammonia is converted to L-[13N]glutamate; transamination with p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate yields L-[13N]tyrosine. [13N]Tyrosine is separated from other labeled intermediates on a Poropak Q column. In method 2, phenylalanine dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible reductive [13N]amination of either phenylpyruvate or p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to form L-[13N]phenylalanine or L-[13N]tyrosine, respectively. The feasibility of labeling DOPA and tryptophan with 13N was also demonstrated.
