Abstract
The X-ray crystal structure of the neurotoxin MPTP (l-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) has been elucidated. A comparison of the structural relationship of his agent, which induces Parkinsonism by the selective destruction of nigrostriatal dopamine neurons, to the crystal structure of dopamine is presented.Entities:
