โฆ Synopsis
8-Azaguanosine
I4C-labeled in the ribose moiety was enzymatically synthesized in two steps:
2 ) synthesis of 8-azaguanosine from [ U-14C]ribose-l-phosphate and 8-azaguanine catalyzed by purine nucleoside phosphorylase. The radiochemical yield was 708, and no contaminants were present in the isolated radioactive nucleoside analog, as judged by HPLC analysis.

An enzymatic method for preparing 6R-[U-14C]-tetrahydrobiopterin from [U-14C]GTP is presented. This method utilizes purified preparations of three biosynthetic enzymes for 6R-tetrahydrobiopterin, i.e., Escherichia coli GTP cyclohydrolase I, rat 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase, and rat sepiapter
