Tetrahydrobiopterin Regulates L-tyrosine-induced Elevation of Cytosolic Calcium Concentration in Insulin-secreting Cells

open access: yesPteridines, 2006
We examined the role of endogenous tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) on L-tyrosine-induced increase in cytosolic Ca: concentration ([Ca2+],) in the ß-cell line, HIT-T15.

Reactions of DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) decarboxylase with DOPA [PDF]

open access: yes, 1979
The study of DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) decarboxylase by steady-state methods is difficult because multiple reactions occur. The reaction with DOPA was studied at enzyme concentrations between 20 and 50 micrometer by direct observation of the ...

Chemical modification of pig kidney 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase with diethyl pyrocarbonate. Evidence for an essential histidyl residue

open access: yes, 1985
Diethyl pyrocarbonate inhibits pig kidney holo-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase with a second-order rate constant of 1170 M-1 min-1 at pH 6.8 and 25 degrees C, showing a concomitant increase in absorbance at 242 nm due to formation of ...

Synthesis of Novel Chiral L-Phenylalanine Grafted PEDOT Derivatives with Electrochemical Chiral Sensor for 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine Discrimination

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2015
Two amino-functionalized chiral poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) derivatives, poly(N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-phenylalayl (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-2'-yl)methylamide) (PEDOT-Boc-Phe) and poly(L-phenylalayl (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-2'-yl ...

Reaction specificity of native and nicked 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase

open access: yes, 1999
3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa) decarboxylase is a stereospecific pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent α-decarboxylase that converts L- aromatic amino acids into their corresponding amines.

Study of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) as anchoring unit to functionalize biomaterials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This project aims at studying and comparing the efficiency and stability of the binding of a model peptide to a diverse range of biomaterials using L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) which contains catechol groups, as anchoring unit.

Abnormal structure-specific peptide transmission and processing in a primate model of Parkinson's disease and l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2014
A role for enhanced peptidergic transmission, either opioidergic or not, has been proposed for the generation of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA)-induced dyskinesia (LID) on the basis of in situ hybridization studies showing that striatal ...

Melanin Polymerization Held in Check: A Composite of Dihydroxyphenylalanine with Zeolite Beta

open access: yes, 2015
The potential use of l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) amino acid in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease is hindered by an oxidative polymerization under air that might be at least partially circumvented by the immobilization on an inorganic matrix.

Evidence for PQQ as cofactor in 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) decarboxylase of pig kidney [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Pig kidney 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.28) was purified to homogeneity. Treatment of the enzyme with phenylhydrazine (PH) according to a procedure developed for analysis of quinoproteins gave products which were identified ...
