Abstract
The biological system under investigation is more sensitive to the chemical nature of the elements, but it cannot distinguish between different isotopes of the same element. Therefore tracing of biosynthetic or metabolic pathway by incorporating radioactive isotopes into the precursor or starting material. The location and quantity of the compound can be determined in biological system. Radioactive tracer methods are used both in research and routine analytical methods. So the utilization of tracer techniques is based on the application of stable or unstable radioactive isotopes of an element as markers for the naturally occurring form of the element. The aim of the focus on the radioactive isotopes which are utilized in tracer technique for the investigation of biogenetic pathways.
