Other Notes
One unit will produce 1.0 nanomole of total O-methylated products from 3,4 dihydroxyacetophenone per hour at pH 7.6 at 37 °C.
Previous radioactive assay unit definition: One unit will catalyze the methylation of 1.0 nanomole of protocatechuic acid per hr at pH 7.9 at 37°C using S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-14C]methionine as the methyl donor. (~6 radioactive units equal one new unit).

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) catalyzes the methylation of catecholamines, including neurotransmitters like dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine, leading to their degradation. COMT has been a subject of study for its implications in numerous neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease (PD), schizophrenia, and depression. The
