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
