Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

textDopaquinone is highly reactive and in the absence of sulfhydryl compounds it undergoes the intramolecular addition of the amino group to produce an intermediate, leucodopachrome (also termed cyclodopa). A redox exchange between cyclodopa and dopaquinone then gives rise to dopachrome, an orange-red intermediate (Raper 1927, Mason et al. 1948) and dopa. This latter reaction is considered the source of dopa formed during melanogenesis (Ito & Wakamatsu 2008).
