The photoprotection mechanism in the black–brown pigment eumelanin
The natural black–brown pigment eumelanin protects humans from high-energy UV photons by absorbing and rapidly dissipating their energy before proteins and DNA are damaged. The extremely weak fluorescence of eumelanin points toward nonradiative relaxation on the timescale of picoseconds or shorter....
