[guanidino‐ 13 C]Creatine has been synthesized by reaction involving synthesis of [ 13 C]cyanamide followed by its condensation with sarcosine. The creatine guanidino carbon 13 C NMR frequency shifts upon the formation of phosphocreatine by 0.83 ppm with a splitting ( 2 J CP = 3.3 Hz) due to two‐bond phosphorus‐carbon coupling. The high 13 C enrichment (99%) at the guanidino carbon of creatine gave rise to an adequate signal‐to‐noise ratio for both creatine and phosphocreatine so that a study of the time course of the creatine phosphokinase reaction could be performed and provided the means for a determination of the K m (15.5 m M ) of the reaction. © 1986 Academic Press, Inc.
