After norepinephrine (NE) is deaminated by monoamine oxidase (MAO), the aldehyde formed is either metabolized to 3,4-dihydroxy-mandelic acid (DHMA) by aldehyde dehydrogenase or is converted to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol (DHPG) by aldehyde or aldose reductase. The present study examined the effects of

A quantitative assay for the diphenol oxidase activity of tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) using high-pressure liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection is described. The assay is based on the observation (M. Sugumaran, 1986, Biochemistry 25, 4489-4492) that tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation

Cyclic voltammetric and chronoamperometric data are consistent with a process in which 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid (DOMA) is oxidized initially in a two-electron step to its corresponding o-benzoquinone. This species is unstable and undergoes the rate-determining loss of CO2 (k = 1.6

Pseudomonas putida F6 was found to metabolize p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid through 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. Cell extracts of P. putida F6 catalyze the NAD(P)H-independent hydroxylation of p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid which is further oxidized to 3,4-dihydroxymandelic acid. Oxidation

Pre-synaptic endings of the sympathetic nervous fibers control the metabolism of catecholamines, particularly inactivating norepinephrine after its neuronal recapture. The present study was carried out to investigate this segment of the metabolism of catecholamines through measurements of DHPG, DOMA and
