The two bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan precursors UDP-MurNAc-L-Ala-o-isoGlu-L-Lys-D-Ala-o-Ala and UDP-GIcNAc labeled in their amino sugars with either tritium or carbon-14 accumulated in cells of Micrococcus luteus that were incubated for short periods of time in a minimal medium to which [14C]gl
## Abstract Perhaps the greatest influence that isotopic labelling experiments have had on organic mass spectrometry is that reaction mechanisms originally borrowed from the chemistry of neutral counterparts have proved to be inadequate for explaining the results. It was therefore necessary to devi
