Tritium labelled substrates are commonly used in enzyme assays on account of their high specific activity, cheapness and availability. Because of certain special effects occurring with tritium labelled compounds, isotope effects may erroneously be inferred from rate measurements using these compounds. These special effects, and recommended methods of detecting and eliminating them, are discussed.
