Studies on enzymatic oxidation of 3′,4′-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine to dopachrome using kinetic isotope effect methods

We report the studies on the mechanism of oxidation of 3',4'-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine (l-DOPA) to neurotoxic dopachrome catalyzed by enzyme horseradish peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) using the kinetic (KIE), and solvent (SIE), isotope effect methods. For kinetic studies two specifically deuterated isotopomers: [2',5',6'-2H3]-l-DOPA was synthesized by the acid catalyzed isotopic exchange between nati...

Mammalian tyrosinase; action on substances structurally related to tyrosine.

Tyrosinase prepared from plant, insect, and marine animal sources catalyzes the oxidation of tyrosine, dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa), and various structurally similar compounds to darkly colored pigments (2). The enzymatic oxidation of many of the analogues of tyrosine and dopa often proceeds at a faster rate than for tyrosine and dopa themselves (2, 3). The investigation reported here was carr...

Errors in the studies of enzymatic reactions resulting from unforeseen oxidation-reduction reactions

The Division of Biochemistry, Faculty of Chemistry, Opole University for more than 10 years has been involved in analysis of reactions catalysed by tyrosinase (monophenol oxidoreductase, L-dopa:O2, EC 1.14.18.1). This is a key enzyme in melanization process that catalyses its two first reactions: o-hydroxylation of tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and oxidation of dopa to dopaquino...

Assay of tyrosine hydroxylase based on high-performance liquid chromatography separation and quantification of L-dopa and L-tyrosine.

An assay of L-tyrosine (Tyr) hydroxylating activity operating in lincomycin biosynthesis is described. The assay development consisted of HPLC procedure development, assessing the effect of reaction mixture components on non-enzymatic Dopa and Tyr oxidation, and sample stability evaluation. The HPLC procedure with isocratic elution and fluorescence detection was developed and validated. The met...

Mutational mapping of the catalytic activities of human tyrosinase.

Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) is a copper-containing metalloglycoprotein that catalyzes several steps in the melanin pigment biosynthetic pathway; the hydroxylation of tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) and the subsequent oxidation of dopa to dopaquinone. It has been proposed that tyrosinase is also able to oxidize 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI), a later product in the melanogenic pathway, ...

A Crystallization-Induced Asymmetric Transformation using Racemic Phenyl Alanine Methyl Ester Derivatives as Versatile Precursors to Prepare Amino Acids

L-Tyrosine and L-Dopa are the precursors in the biological synthesis of amine neurotransmitters. On the other hand, phenylalanine as an aromatic amino acid (AAA) is a precursor in the synthesis of L-Tyrosine and L-Dopa. For some substrates such as amino acids, resolution by the formation of diastereomers offers an attractive alternative. Among different methods in this case, crystallization-ind...
