Pheomelanin Effect on UVB Radiation-Induced Oxidation/Nitration of <span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>-Tyrosine

Pheomelanin is a natural yellow-reddish sulfur-containing pigment derived from tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation of tyrosine in presence of cysteine. Generally, the formation of melanin pigments is a protective response against the damaging effects of UV radiation in skin. However, pheomelanin, like ot...
