The Photophysics and Photochemistry of Melanin‐ Like Nanomaterials Depend on Morphology and Structure

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 27, Issue 66, Page 16309-16319, November 25, 2021., 2021
Melanin‐like materials can be easily prepared from simple precursors upon controlled oxidation/polymerization. In the resulting system, species with different structure and morphology coexist and interact. The overall photophysical and photochemical properties depend in part on the nature of the chromophores formed but also, to a large extent, on the ...

Crypsis in the pelagic realm: evidence from exceptionally preserved fossil fish larvae from the Eocene Stolleklint Clay of Denmark

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 64, Issue 6, Page 805-815, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Marine deposits of earliest Eocene age in northern Jutland, Denmark, are renowned for yielding diverse teleost assemblages that have proved central for enhancing our understanding of the early evolution of many extant actinopterygian clades. In this study, we investigate diminutive larval fish fossils from the Stolleklint Clay, Ølst Formation,

How Egg Case Proteins Can Protect Cuttlefish Offspring? [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Sepia officinalis egg protection is ensured by a complex capsule produced by the female accessory genital glands and the ink bag. Our study is focused on the proteins constituting the main egg case.

Recent advances in heteromorph ammonoid palaeobiology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 576-610, April 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT Heteromorphs are ammonoids forming a conch with detached whorls (open coiling) or non‐planispiral coiling. Such aberrant forms appeared convergently four times within this extinct group of cephalopods. Since Wiedmann's seminal paper in this journal, the palaeobiology of heteromorphs has advanced substantially.

An electrochemical study of natural and chemically controlled eumelanin

open access: yesAPL Materials, 2017
Eumelanin is the most common form of the pigment melanin in the human body, with functions including antioxidant behavior, metal chelation, and free radical scavenging. This biopigment is of interest for biologically derived batteries and supercapacitors.

A Sensitive Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence Assay For Determination of Melanin in Natural and Biological Samples

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2012
A rapid, simple and highly sensitive flow-injection (FI) electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) method was developed for the determination of melanin, a biological pigment present in the skin, eyes, hair, scales and it is responsible for color of them.
