Abstract
By affinity chromatography with Sepharose coupled to 2′-deoxy-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl-N 4-dodecanoylcytosine, deoxycytidine kinase and cytidine deaminase were purified 1,950- and 2,240-fold, respectively, from Ehrlich carcinoma cells, and their enzyme activities for several deoxycytidine analogs were investigated.
