چکیده
The oligomeric hypothesis is supported by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) characterizations of synthetic eumelanins, formed by auto-oxidation or electrochemical oxidation of dihydroxyindole (DHI). Comparison of calculated absorption spectra to experimental spectra demonstrates a red shift in absorption with oxidation and stacking of the eumelanin, and validates the theoretical results. The work will lead to the development of better sun screenbased products, aiding the protection against, and the prevention of, skin cancer.

Optical Absorption Spectra of Melanins - a Comparison of Theoretical and Experimental Results
Researchers at Innovene, the University of San Antonio, and the University of California, Irvine, and Accelrys have used MS Modeling’s DMol, VAMP, and Discover codes to study the effect of aggregation and oxidation on the optical absorption of eumelanin oligomeric sheets. The oligomeric hypothesis is supported by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) characterizations of synthetic eumelanins, formed by...
متن کاملElectronic Properties of Random Polymers: Modelling Optical Spectra of Melanins
Melanins are a group of complex pigments of biological origin, widely spread in all species from fungi to man. Among diverse types of melanins, the human melanins, eumelanins, are brown or black nitrogen-containing pigments, mostly known for their photoprotective properties in human skin. We have undertaken theoretical studies aimed to understand absorption spectra of eumelanins and their chemi...
