L-Dopa-induced Modification of DNA, RNA and Protein Synthesis

SummaryThe effect of L-dopa and isoproterenol in DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis was measured in the salivary glands, brain, and liver of the mouse. These data indicate that L-dopa does not cause gross changes in nucleic acid and protein synthesis.We thank Dr. George C. Cotzias for stimulating this work and Miss Roberta Klimaski for technical assistance.
