Abstract
The mechanism of uptake, storage, and release of several biogenic amines acting as neuronal transmitters (as well as the molecular effect of some psychoactive catecholamines) seems to be determined essentially by the interaction of the amines with adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP). 31P-NMR spectroscopy of the ATP phosphorous groups has been used for determining the uptake of amines by chromaffin granules1) and investigating qualitatively the involvement of the different phosphate groups in the association with catecholamines2) or divalent metal ions3).
