The near-infrared fluorescence assay was performed as described previously (6 (link), 27 (link)). Leftover pellets from SDS extraction were extracted in 1 M NaOH at 55°C overnight. Then, samples were dried, washed with H2O, lyophilized, and solubilized in H2O. Samples and standard solutions from a 10 mM oxidized dopamine stock were dropped on a Biodyne Nylon Transfer Membrane (Pall). Membranes were scanned using Odyssey infrared imaging system (LI-COR) with the 700 channel. Samples were quantified by obtaining integrated spot intensities using Odyssey infrared imaging software (LI-COR).
