What is isotopic tracer technique?

Answer / swapna
An isotopic tracer is used in chemistry and biochemistry to
help understand chemical reactions and interactions. In
this technique, one or more of the atoms of the molecule of
interest is substituted for an atom of the same chemical
element, but of a different isotope. Because the atom has
the same number of protons, it will behave in almost
exactly the same way chemically as other atoms in the
compound, and with few exceptions will not interfere with
the reaction under investigation. The difference in the
number of neutrons, however, means that it can be detected
separately from the other atoms of the same element.

this technique, one or more of the atoms of the molecule of
interest is substituted for an atom of the same chemical
element, but of a different isotope. Because the atom has
radioactive property, so it can be detected separately
from the other atoms of the same element. And as it the
same compound, it will not interfere with the reaction
under investigation.

Answer / sciri
Isotopic tracer technique is used to 'trace' the path of a metabolite/enzyme in biochemistry. the molecule under consideration is radioactively labelled for eg, using 13C or 15N. these radioactive compounds can be traced due to they property of emitting beta radiations.
