Light-Driven Chemistry Turns Amino Acids into New Serotonin-Targeting Compounds

January 8, 2026

At the University of California, Davis, a research team led by Professor Mark Mascal of the Department of Chemistry has developed a new chemical method that uses light to transform amino acids into molecules that resemble psychedelics in both structure and receptor activity. The work, carried out in collaboration with the UC Davis Institute for
