5,6-Dihydroxyindole (5,6DHI) and 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (5,6DHI2C) are ultimate precursors of the black melanin, eumelanin. These indolic metabolites and their O-methyl derivatives are excreted in urine of melanoma patients at high levels and of healthy persons at low levels. We descr

Mammalian melanins exist in two chemically disnylalanine (dopa), 3 which is produced from tyrosine tinct forms: the brown to black eumelanins and the by the action of tyrosinase. Dopaquinone undergoes yellow to reddish pheomelanins. Eumelanins are dea series of redox reactions leading to eumelanin f

Despite extensive efforts over more than half a century, the direct structural investigation of natural melanins has, so far, been largely unsuccessful, because of the adverse physical and chemical properties of these pigments. In the present study, we applied matrix-assisted laser desorption/ioniza
