The structure of tyrosinase can be divided into three domains: the central domain, the N-terminal domain, and the C-terminal domain. The central domain, which is composed of six conserved histidine residues, contains the CuA and CuB oxidizing ions. Related Theory Tyrosinase is involved in the biosynthesis of melanin in the melanosomes causing pigmentation of skin, hair and eyes in mammals providing the protection against UV. It converts a protein building block (amino acid) called tyrosine to another compound called dopaquinone.
