mass nounBiochemistry

A compound which is present in nervous tissue as a precursor of dopamine, used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
〔生化〕多巴。参见L-DOPA
An amino acid; alternative name: dihydroxyphenylalanine; chemical formula: C₉H₁₁NO₄
See also l-dopa
Example sentencesExamples
- Since dopa is a precursor for cuticle formation and melanin biosynthesis, genes involved in monoamine metabolism also have pleiotropic effects on scleratization and pigmentation.
- He was able to reverse this effect by giving the animals dopa, the amino acid precursor for dopamine.
- Betacynin biosynthesis starts by the oxidation of tyrosine to dopa by a tyrosine hydroxylase.
- The addition of norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, and dopa to the cultures of E. coli resulted in increased growth when compared to non-catecholamine-supplemented control cultures.
- They have measured the second-order electron transfer rate constants for reactions of dopa and c-dopa melanins with various radicals.

Origin

Early 20th century: from German, acronym from the systematic name.
