Using microfabricated Clark oxygen electrodes. we integrated amperometric amino acid sensors to detect L-glutamate, L-lysine, L-arginine, and L-histidine. The oxygen electrode consists of an anisotropically etched rectangular groove with a silver cathode and a Ag/AgCl anode, a Fluorinated Ethylene-P

✦ Synopsis
For physiological investigations on the transfer of met,abolites in the pregnant organism it was necessary to prepare a number of natural amino acids with a specific tritium label. The present report relates to the introduction of tritium into the a-position of the basic amino acids, histidine, arginine and lysine. Racemization procedures of optically active amino acids in a tritiated medium were selected to accomplish this. Of the many known variations the azlactone rearrangement described by Bergmann and Zervas (1) and du Vigneaud and Meyer (2) seemed particularly well suited for this purpose because of the mild conditions and the possibility of a nearly quantitative recovery of the isotope. The mechanism of this reaction is outlined in Scheme I. That the reaction proceeds essentially as predicted has been shown by Clark and Rittenberg (3), who applied a modification of this reaction for the introduction of deuterium into the a-position of lysine.

## Abstract Poly(Lys^48^, His^52^), a random copolypeptide of L‐lysine (48%) and L‐histidine (52%), was used as a model protein for investigating the effects of protonation on the imidazole group of histidines on protein binding to DNA. The complexes formed between poly(Lys^48^, His^52^) and DNA we
Tritiated poly-L-lysine (y,&T\*) (IX) waa prepared according to the following procedure: Tritiated DL-lysine (y,&T\*) (111) was derived from acetarnino-(4amino-A\*-buteny1)-diethylmalonate (I) by tritiation followed by acid hydrolysis. The racemic tritiated lysine was converted to its e,N-trifluoroa
Poly-L-arginine was prepared by the guanidization of poly-L-ornithine with l-guanyl-3,5dimethylpyrazole. The poly-L-ornithine was derived from poly-6,N-trifluoroacetyl-L-ornithine by removal of the blocking groups under mild basic conditions (1M piperidine).
