A method for the degradation of radioactive nicotinic acid.

Biochem. J. 102(1) , 87-93, (1967)

A chemical degradation scheme is reported, which permits the measurement of the radioactivity of each carbon atom of nicotinic acid. Nicotinic acid is decarboxylated by heating with copper chromite to give carbon dioxide (C-7) and pyridine. The pyridine is co...
