Abstract : The enzyme, nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) has been purified from aqueous extract of beef liver mitochondria by hydroxylapatite chromatography followed by Gel filtration technique. This enzyme catalyzes the transphosphorylation reactions between a number of nucleoside di- and triphosphates. Commercially, pure enzyme is presently unavailable for the production of labeled nucleotides. The purification procedure reported in the present study was found to be superior to the earlier reported DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography method. The purified enzyme has been successfully used to synthesize α- 32P dCTP, α- 32P CTP, α- 32P UTP, α - 33P dCTP and α - 33P UTP.
