BIOCHEMISTRY OF BIOGENIC AMINES.
Abstract
Amino acids for awakening tranquilized animals: The meta-hydroxy analog of tyrosine was shown to have such an effect. Hydroxyindole oxidases: Many sources were established for an enzyme that will oxidize hydroxyindole derivatives. Amine oxidases: Distribution of amine oxidases in mammalian blood plasma was studied; the enzyme is related to spermine oxidase. Benzylamine oxidase from pig plasma was crystallized. Work was resumed on detaching the enzyme lysolecithin from the insoluble mitochondrial detritus. Chromaffin granules of the adrenal medulla. Posterior pituitary hormones and neurophysin: Hormones were dissociated from protein by using columns of sphadex G-25 and 0.in formic acid. Granules rich in hormones were obtained by differential centrifugation, the granules containing a protein resembling the Van Dyke protein. Sulfur containing amino acids: Optically pure L-homocystine was obtained from L-methionine.
