The formation of the cyclic product accounts for the indefinite lag when N,N-dimethyltyramine is used as the substrate for tyrosinase in the absence of a dihydric phenol cofactor, and it is shown that the indoliumolate product is formed by cyclization of theortho-quinone, presented by pulse radiolysis studies.

Spontaneous redox reactions of dopaquinone and the balance between the eumelanic and phaeomelanic pathways.
Calculations demonstrate that, whilst similar pathways are invoked, the phaeomelanic pathway predominates in the presence of cysteine, irrespective of the availability of dopaquinone and thus independently of the rate of tyrosinase-catalysed oxidation.

An investigation of the tyrosinase-catalysed oxidation of a range of hydroxybenzenes which establish the structural requirements associated with inactivation and presents evidence for an inactivation mechanism based on catechol hydroxylation, with loss of one of the copper atoms at the active site.
