Abstract

The last decade can rightly be regarded as a most fruitful period in the history of melanin research. An impressive amount of data on the biosynthesis, structure and properties of melanins have been amassed which have expanded our knowledge beyond boundaries not previously imagined (Prota, 1992; Prota, 1995). As a result, melanin chemistry is no longer the uncharted territory that it was only a few years ago. We are now in a position to think of melanins as of materials for which, however complex, a realistic structural description is just behind the door, with no need of letting one’s imagination roam.
