Abstract:
We have developed an automated synthesis apparatus for L-[3-11C]-labeled aromatic amino acids by improved multi-enzymatic reactions. Use of a specially designed reaction vessel and of CH2Cl2 as a solvent has greatly simplified the overall operation, proving to be suitable for automated synthesis, and also has given better yields and higher specific activities than formerly reported values.
