Feasibility of Ionization-Mediated Pathway for Ultraviolet-Induced Melanin Damage

TOC Graphic Published In The Journal of Physical Chemistry B Authors Mukunda Mandal, Tamal Das, Baljinder K. Grewal, and Debashree Ghosh* Citation Mandal, M.; Das, T.; Grewal, B. K.; Ghosh, D. Feasibility of Ionization-Mediated Pathway for Ultraviolet-Induced Melanin Damage. J. Phys. Chem. B 2015, 119, 13288–13293. DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcb.5b08750. Express Summary Melanin is a pigment found in human skin that can both protect against and contribute to photodamage. The ionization energies of melanin monomers, dimers, and oligomers were calculated to determine the threshold energy for ionization, which was found to be in the UV-B range.
