Abstract
The modified method for biosynthesis of L‐methionine‐^35^S and L‐cystine‐^35^S from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is described. The yeast was cultivated in a sulphur‐deplated medium containing carrier‐free Na~2~^35^SO~4~, under air bubbling during 24 hours. Yeast proteins were hydrolyzed enzymatically into free amino acids, and L‐methionine‐^35^S and L‐cystine‐^35^S were isolated by ion‐exchange chromatography on a column. Radioactive yields for L‐methionine‐^35^S and L‐cystine‐^35^S were 30% and 10%, respectively. The obtained products have high specific activity, 1–10 Ci/mmol, and radiochemical purity better than 95%.

The order of the exchange reaction between potassium ethyl xanthate and elemental sulphur was determined. A mixture of ethanol and toluene was used as the solvent for the routine preparation of 35S-labelled ethyl, n-butyl, n-hexyl and n-octyl xanthates at a temperature of 200 C. The dependence of th

## Abstract A selective and quantitative method was developed for a microscale preparation of 4‐thiouracil‐2‐^14^C by the direct thiation of uracil‐2‐^14^C. From pyridine, dioxane, and tetralin as the thiation solvents, the best yield was obtained in dioxane (96.6% of 4‐thiouracil‐2‐^14^C). The sim
