Abstract

The hydrogen peroxide produced during photolysis of melanin pigments has been measured using an oxidase electrode. The photooxidation has been shown to occur via the superoxide intermediate. In the presence of superoxide dismutase the rate of photo‐induced production of hydrogen peroxide is increased, reflecting the ability of melanin to scavenge superoxide radicals. Evidence for metal‐ion dependent formation of hydroxyl radicals during photooxidation of melanin pigments was obtained using electron spin resonance‐spin trapping procedures. Superoxide dismutase increased the rate of formation of hydroxyl radicals in the system. Mechanisms of metal ion‐induced production of hydroxyl radicals during photolysis of melanin pigments are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
