Abstract
MUCH attention has recently been centred on the biosynthesis and metabolism of the catecholamines and indole-alkylamines. Because the enzyme monoamine oxidase (monoamine : O2 oxidoreductase (deaminating), EC 1.4.3.4) is involved in the metabolism of both these classes of biogenic amines, and because of our interest in development1,2 we were prompted to investigate the nature of this enzyme and especially its activity in developing brain and other tissues of the maturing organism.
