| Abstract: | Cell cultures of Mucuna deeringiana on various media fail to accumulate DOPA or stizolobic acid. Radiotracer studies prove that both compounds are being synthesized in the cells; however, the apparent lack of production is due to metabolic emphasis on catabolism instead of storage. |
| Keywords: | Leguminosae velvet bean non-protein amino acids DOPA stizolobic acid cell cultures catabolism. |
