  • METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR MELANIN SYNTHESIS
    Publication number: 20240002895
    Abstract: The invention relates to a composition comprising a polymer-based droplet, wherein the polymer-based droplet comprises one or more of melanin, a tyrosine substrate with a cleavable protecting group on the side chain, tyrosine, tyrosinase and any combination thereof. The composition further relates to a method of synthesizing melanin comprising the steps of: obtaining a polymer-based droplet containing a tyrosine substrate with a cleavable protecting group on the side chain (protected tyrosine) or a polymer-based droplet containing tyrosine (unprotected); wherein the tyrosine is oxidized by tyrosinase and polymerizes so as to obtain melanin.

  • Self-assembling peptide polymer
    Patent number: 11021516
    Abstract: A self-assembling peptide is provided that is enzymatically oxidized to form a polymeric pigment. The monomeric peptide has three amino acids (tyrosine (Y), one phenylalanine (F), and one aspartic acid (D) or one lysine (K)) and, following self-assembly and treatment with a tyrosinase enzyme oxidizes and polymerizes into a material with predetermined properties.
