This book discusses recent advances in theoretical–computational studies on the biosynthesis of melanin pigment (melanogenesis). The book also addresses reactions analogous to melanogenesis, with a focus on o-quinone reactions, which are especially important for understanding melanogenesis-associated cytotoxicity.
