This paper describes the synthesis of GDP-[U-Wlmannose from [W4C]sucrose using invertase and a crude yeast preparation supplemented with hexokinase. The radiochemical yield of GDP-[U-14C]mannose is 20-30%; 95% of the label in the isolated product is GDP-['\*C]mannose.
## Saccharopine (c-N-n-glutaryl-2) -n-lysine is a precursor of lysine biosynthesis in yeast and other fungi through the a-aminoadipic acid pathway (1). In Saccharomyces, saccharopine is converted into lysine in the presence of NAD\* at pH 10 or above. The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme known
The synthesis and purification of 14C-cotinine is reported. 14C-nicotine is converted into 14C-dibromocotinine. Debromination of the latter results in 14C-cotinine which is purified by high performance liquid chromatography. The total radioactive yield of the synthesis is 44.8 %. Starting from 5
