Spontaneous fibril formation in eumelanin synthesised from 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine
This thesis concerns synthetic melanin formation using 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), with respect to its possible fibril formation. This study aims to bridge the gap between the understanding of L-DOPA as a precursor molecule and its formation into melanin. Thus, an overview of L-DOPA is presen...
