Conversion of Phenylalanine to Phenethylamine in Patients with Phenylketonuria
Summary1. An increased production of phenethylamine was found in patients with phenylketonuria. 2. Phenethylamine synthesis was markedly reduced by α-methyldopa, an inhibitor of aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase. This suggests that the synthesis of phenethylamine from phenylalanine in humans is catalyzed by this decarboxylase. 3.

Thermometer Ions, Internal Energies, and In‐Source Fragmentation in Ambient Ionization
ABSTRACT Ionization and fragmentation are at the core of mass spectrometry. But they are not necessarily separated in space, as in‐source fragmentation can also occur. Here, we survey the literature published since our 2005 review on the internal energy and fragmentation in electrospray ionization sources.
