Publisher Summary The divergence of the melanogenic pathway occurs after the initial oxidation step that yields dopaquinone. The current analytical approach to the classification of melanins depends… Expand
Spontaneous redox reactions of dopaquinone and the balance between the eumelanic and phaeomelanic pathways.
Eumelanogenesis and phaeomelanogenesis diverge at an early stage in pigment formation, namely at the point where dopaquinone, the initial product of tyrosine oxidation by tyrosinase, undergoes one of… Expand
