can someone please explain how to indicate where a label appears in a product? for example:

where the label appears in

2-[14C]-Glycine --> AMP

To indicate the position of a label or a specific isotope in a product, you can use bracketed notation. Here's how you can indicate where the label appears in the compound "2-[14C]-Glycine --> AMP":

1. Start with the compound: 2-[14C]-Glycine.

2. The number before the hyphen (2 in this case) represents the position of the label or isotope in the compound. It indicates that the isotope is attached to the second carbon atom in this molecule.

3. The square brackets [ ] enclose the isotope notation. In this case, it is the radioisotope 14C.

4. After the hyphen, the name of the compound is mentioned. In our example, the compound is Glycine.

So, in the compound "2-[14C]-Glycine," the label or isotope is attached to the second carbon atom in the Glycine molecule.

If you want to show the transformation of "2-[14C]-Glycine" into "AMP," you can use an arrow (-->). This indicates the conversion or reaction taking place. Therefore, "2-[14C]-Glycine --> AMP" suggests that the compound "2-[14C]-Glycine" is being transformed into "AMP."
