HAROLD C. SLAVKIN 1, C. E. TETREAULT 1, and LUCIEN A. BAVETTA 1

The unique absence of tryptophan in dentin collagen and its presence in enamel protein(s) provide a specific biological marker for the study of amelogenesis. Isotopic tryptophan was administered to young rats. The incorporation, distribution, and turnover of the labeled precursor was expressed in auto-radiographs and radiochemically determined specific activity.
