Despite extensive investigation, the structure of melanins, the major determinants of skin colour differences in man and other mammals, is still poorly defined, mainly because of the unfavourable properties of the materials. In this study, analysis of model pigments prepared by enzymically-or chemi

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry was used to study melanogenesis starting from Dopa and dopamine, the latter considered one of the precursors of neuromelanins. These substrates were left to react with the peroxidase-H 2 O 2 system, which is postulated to play an

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
