Has anyone done PAL assays?
We are urgently in need of a supplier for the following reagent...
Can anyone out there help? We cant seem to get it in the UK.

	Reagent used in assay for plant phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL)
activity:

	L-phenylalanine, labelled with tritium, NOT on the phenyl ring,	
	but on the 3 - position carbon (the one next to the ring).

	Alternatively, tritium labels on both the 2 and 3 carbons 
	would be acceptable.

If anyone could mail the address of likely sources, US chemical suppliers 
etc. , I'd be grateful. We dont need very much... enough for a couple of 
hundred assays maybe.

Thanks,
