Description

3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (3,4-DOPA) is a non-protein amino acid that is an intermediate in the synthesis of dopamine and norepinephrine. 3,4-DOPA is metabolized by the enzyme dopa decarboxylase to dopamine and then by catechol-O-methyl transferase to norepinephrine. 3,4-DOPA has antioxidant properties and has been shown to have anticancer effects in animals. It also has been shown to interact with other biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. 3,4-DOPA binds strongly to metal ions through its carboxylic acid group and can chelate metals such as copper or iron. This property may be used for coatings on metal surfaces or for interacting with other molecules.br>br>3,4-Dopa contains a chiral center due to the presence of two stereogenic carbons on the phen
