Abbreviations

Dopa:

3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine

dopamine:

3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine

MPTP(H3):

(the normal abbreviation used is MPTP, but we have added (H3) since this allows the various 1e−/H+ steps necessary for conversion to be more readily represented), N-methyl-4-phenyl-tetrahydropyridine

MPP+ :

4-phenylpyridinium ion

5-SCD:

5-Scysteinyldopa

DHI:

5,6-dihydroxyindole
