l-DOPA-2,3-dioxygenase from Streptomyces lincolnensis is a single domain type I extradiol dioxygenase of the vicinal oxygen chelate superfamily and catalyzes the second step in the metabolism of the propylhygric acid moiety of the antibiotic, lincomycin. In this report, the kinetic mechanism of l-DOPA dioxygenase is interrogated using stopped-flow in order to determine microscopic rate constants. Pre-steady state, progress curve and steady-state data were combined in a global kinetic analysis using KinTek Explorer in order to define and constrain a kinetic model for the type I l-DOPA dioxygenase.

An automated solvent dispensing workstation capable of delivering volumes ranging from 10 mL to 4.5 L for the preparation of solutions/mobile phases was developed and implemented into the industrial R&D laboratory. The workstation was designed to address business, safety, and compliance needs while meeting or exceeding the precision and accuracy of current manual methods of preparation.
