Abstract
We have synthesized β‐aminoisobutyric acid (3‐amino‐2‐[^3^H]methyl‐propanoic acid) and β‐ureidoisobutyric acid (3‐[(aminocarbonyl)amino]‐2‐[^3^H]methyl‐propanoic acid) starting with [^3^]thymidine (1‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐D‐ribo‐furanosyl)‐5‐[^3^H]methyluracil). We have developed a simplified enzymatic preparation using a dialyzed supernatant of homogenized dog liver. The homogenate was incubated with [^3^H]thymidine (41 Ci/mmol) in the presence of NADPH, and β‐ureidopropionic acid. After extraction the supernatant was purified by HPLC.
