Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is one of the most serious public health pests, which can transmit various vector-borne diseases. Eggs from this mosquito species become dark black shortly after oviposition and exhibit high desiccation ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.1,8‐DHN is an important intermediate to form complex aromatic ring systems. Phenol‐coupling reactions are important for the dimerization of two molecules. Here, we show that a fungal cytochrome P450 enzyme catalyzes specific C─C bonds. ABSTRACT Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin ...

Melanization and Tyrosinase Activity
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1971 Purified soluble tyrosinase isolated from the melanosomes of Harding-Passey mouse melanoma was incubated with L-dopa. The reaction velocity of the tyrosinase thus incubated decreased significantly. There was an inverse linear relationship between the concentration of dopa in the preincubation mixture and the reaction velocity of the tyrosinase which ...
