Eumelanin exploitation in bioelectronics: ionic-electronic charge transport in eumelanin organic thin films [PDF]
, 2018 Eumelanin, the mammal pigment originating via the oxidative polymerization of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and/or 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2 carboxylic acid (DHICA), for more than forty years have been the focus of uncommon interest in biomedical research due to their central relevance to skin and eye photoprotection.

Structural Model of Eumelanin [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2006 Melanin is a ubiquitous pigment in living organisms with multiple important functions, yet its structure is not well understood. We propose a structural model for eumelanin protomolecules, consisting of 4 or 5 of the basic molecular units (hydroquinone, indolequinone, and its tautomers), in arrangements that contain an inner porphyrin ring. We use time-

Spiny mice modulate eumelanin to pheomelanin ratio to achieve cryptic coloration in "evolution canyon," Israel. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Coat coloration in mammals is an explicit adaptation through natural selection. Camouflaging with the environment is the foremost evolutionary drive in explaining overall coloration. Decades of enquiries on this topic have been limited to repetitive coat
