β¦ Synopsis
Oxidations of dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (EPI) at pH 7.4 in the presence of free L-cysteine (CySH) have been previously shown to generate a number of cysteinyl conjugates of these catecholaminergic neurotransmitters that serve as precursors of various dihydrobenzothiazines (DHBTs).

Oxidation of epinephrine (EPI) in aqueous solution at pH 7.4 generates an ortho-quinone (1) that normally deprotonates and undergoes a rapid intramolecular cyclization and secondary reactions, ultimately leading to an indolic melanin polymer. In this investigation, it is demonstrated that L-cysteine
Sodium azide is widely used as bacteriostatic agent during downstream processing of proteins. Amino acid composition analysis of protein samples, subjected to hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid in a buffer containing sodium azide, revealed the presence of cysteic acid, methionine sulfoxide, and methi
