Direct Laser Writing of Polymer Nanocomposites for Tunable Structural Color
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Herein, direct laser writing is used to polymerize self‐assembled nanocomposite materials. Using fabrication parameters, the interparticle spacing is finely tuned beyond the thermodynamically stable state. This is exploited to generate wide gamut structural color in water.

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.This work combines molecular dynamics and finite‐difference time‐domain computational approaches to study the photothermal properties of melanin nanoparticle–based supra‐assemblies. Based on the results of this study, the binary mixtures of melanin and silica with higher concentrations of melanin and with more segregated levels of mixing are able to ...

Biochemistry and biosynthesis of insect pigments
European Journal of Entomology, 2014 The functional role and commercial importance of insect pigments have been studied for well over a century. They are classified into those synthesized by insects, which include anthraquinones, aphins, pterins, tetrapyrroles, ommochromes, melanins and ...

Inhibitory effect of enzymatic browning products on trypsin activity [PDF]
, 2011 The aim of this piece of work was to assay if the melanins synthesized from Agaricus bisporus polyphenol oxidase and one of its main substrates (L-tyrosine) act as trypsininhibitors, and therefore may have a toxic effect on protein digestion.

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.The insect‐microbe interplay fulfills a key ecological role involving the degradation of ligninocellulose biomass. This is coordinated by the secretion of different kinds of proteins, of which ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccases (Lacs), are of prime importance.
