Abstract excerpt
The ability of enzymes to recognize and process structurally diverse substrates is fundamental to metabolic flexibility and biological regulation. In melanin biosynthesis, human tyrosinase (Tyr) catalyzes the oxidation of several chemically distinct intermediates, including L-tyrosine, L-DOPA, DHICA, and DHI. Although its catalytic chemistry is well established, the structural basis of substrate selectivity and...
