This paper presents some modifications of the melanin formation assay for tyrosinase from the point of view of both eu- and phaeomelanosynthesis. On the one hand, eumelanosynthesis can be estimated using neutral paper filters, such as the 3MM Whatman filters so far employed. The main advantages ...detailed
