Characterization of melanin suspended in alginate biofilms at the THz band using FTIR and TDS spectroscopy Artículo académico uri icon

Abstracto

  • Melanin is an important biomolecule that plays a photo-protective role in our bodies. The characterization of melanin has always been challenging due to its unique chemical and physical characteristics, in particular its non-solubility in organic solvents and water. Here, we analyze the THz spectra of melanin supported in alginate biofilms using FTIR and TDS.
