Abstract

Electronic structure calculations were employed to evaluate spin hamiltonian parameters of distinct monomers and dimers of melanin. The results bring valuable insights regarding the nature of the sub-structures responsible for the intrinsic paramagnetism observed in this biomaterial and their roles in electrical conductivity.
