Characterization of melanins in human irides and cultured uveal melanocytes from eyes of different colors.
The presence of eumelanin and pheomelanin in irides from eyes of various colors was determined and quantified by a highly specific microanalytical procedure based on chemical degradation. Significant… Expand

An integrated approach to the structure of Sepia melanin. Evidence for a high proportion of degraded 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid units in the pigment backbone
Abstract The relative proportion of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) versus 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) units in Sepia melanin and their degree of structural integrity were assessed by an… Expand

Oxidation chemistry of norepinephrine: partitioning of the O-quinone between competing cyclization and chain breakdown pathways and their roles in melanin formation.
Aberrant oxidation of norepinephrine (1) via the transient o-quinone has been implicated as a critical pathogenetic mechanism underlying the degeneration of noradrenergic cell bodies in the locus… Expand
