摘要

Chemists in the US have created fluorescent probes that can detect enzymes affecting our emotions. The team, led by Christopher Chang at the University of California, Berkeley, is the first to develop chemical tools that measure directly monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in living cells. MAOs catalyse amine oxidation and the enzymes are responsible for breaking down amine-containing neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Altered MAO activity levels have been linked with diseases such as depression and MAO inhibitors are often used to treat both depression and anxiety. Our MAO levels, determined by our genes, may also affect aspects of our personality, said Chang.
