Recent studies in this laboratory (1, 2) have revealed new information about the mechanism of the phenylalanine hydroxylase reaction. Briefly, these experiments show that during hydroxylation the para substituent of the substrate, phenylalanine, migrates and appears on the meta position(s) of the pr

A simple, rapid, and highly sensitive radiochemical assay for measuring the activity of dopamine+hydroxylase in tissues and serum is described. Enzyme activity is detected by converting [l-'"Cltyramine to [l-"Cloctopamine which is then subjected to periodate cleavage to form ["Clformamide. This radi
A simple, rapid, and sensitive fluorometric assay for measuring the activity of tyrosine hydroxylase is described. The enzyme activity is detected by converting tyrosine to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa), which is then subjected to conversion to the highly fluorescent product by the trihydroxyind
