  • Abstract
    L-DOPA is the most commonly prescribed drug for the treatment of Parkinsonʹs disease. Here, Moor et al. (2011) report that phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzes the misacylation of tRNAPhe by L-DOPA, suggesting that it may contribute to the elevated levels of L-DOPA-containing proteins found in patients treated with this drug.
