This paper analyzes the distribution of radioactivity in the different amino acids of brain myelin protein for up to 6‐7 weeks after an intracranial pulse administration of radioactive leucine, glycine, or methionine. Results show that there is no significant accumulation or reutilization of protein radiactivity in any form other than the one administered.
