Av. Golounin et Ge. Selyutin, EFFECT OF CHEMICAL TREATMENT ON PARAMAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF MELANIN, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 69(4), 1996, pp. 583-586
Melanin isolated from black horse wool was analyzed by high-performanc
e Liquid chromatography. The paramagnetic properties of melanin were s
tudied as influenced by various chemical treatments: reduction, oxidat
ion with iodine and bromine, and alkali treatment. The explanations of
the results obtained were offered. The model of the melanin structure
was proposed.
