Fluorinase mediated C–18F bond formation, an enzymatic tool for PET labelling

Abstract
The fluorinase enzyme from S. cattleya is applied as a catalyst for the efficient incorporation of [18F]-fluoride into [18F]-5′-fluoro-5′-deoxyadenosine, [18F]-5′-fluoro-5′-deoxyinosine and [18F]-5-fluoro-5-deoxyribose for positron emission tomography (PET) applications.
