Chemistry – A European JournalAbstractMelanin is responsible, in Nature, for photoprotection, for this reason it is expected to be poorly photoreactive. However, the photo‐reactivity of melanin and related materials is well documented. Here we discuss some relevant recent examples to demonstrate that, indeed, the actual mechanism of interaction of melanin with light is complex and ...
