A sensitive assay for beta-ureidopropionase based on derivatization of the reaction product beta-alanine with phenylisothiocyanate has been developed. Purification of the resulting phenylthiocarbamoyl-beta-alanine is achieved on a LiChrospher 100 C18 reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography column using an isocratic elution system.
Improved colorimetric procedure for quantitating N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine with minimum dihydrouracil interference.

To evaluate the significance of inborn metabolic disorders of the pyrimidine degradation pathway, 450 children with unspecific neurological symptoms were comprehensively studied; 200 healthy children were recruited as controls. Uracil and thymine as well as their degradation products in urine

The metabolism of [5-3H]uridine and the incorporation of the precursor into liver RNA was studied in developing (13-day-old) and adult (45-day-old) mice. Different time-courses of labelling and increased amounts of labelled catabolic products of uridine were found in liver and
