Notes:
L-[1,2-13C2,15N]Serine was prepared from [1,2-13C2,15N]glycine on a gram scale by the use of the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The reaction was monitored by 13C-NMR spectroscopy. This is the first simultaneously 13C- and 15N-labelled serine isotopomer so far reported. Part of the product was directly converted by tryptophan synthase to L-[1,2-13C2,15N]tryptophan which could conveniently be purified and isolated as Boc-derivative in a yield of 71%. Most of the serine was isolated similarly but to remove remaining starting material in this case purification by column chromatography was required. © 1997 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.J.
