title: Tyrosinase-catalyzed conjugation of dopa with glutathione.
abstract: A convenient method is described for the preparation of 5-S- and 2-S-glutathionyldopa, based on tyrosinase oxidation of dopa in the presence of glutathione. The yields of 5-S, 2-S, and 6-S isomers produced were about 76, 12, and 5%, respectively.
