Descriptor Spanish: Dihidroxifenilalanina
Descriptor dihidroxifenilalanina
Entry term(s) dopa
Scope note: Derivado betahidroxilado de la fenilalanina. La forma D de la hidroxifenilalanina tiene menos actividad fisiológica que la forma L y se utiliza frecuentemente en experimentación para determinar si los efectos farmacológicos de la LEVODOPA son estereoespecíficos.
