   Cutaneous Reactions and Melanin Synthesis
   Exposure to UVB radiation initiates a cascade response in mammalian skin, culminating in the localized synthesis of melanin. This pigment's structure, often noted for its complex quinone backbone, is particularly efficient at absorbing radiation in the 300–360 nm range. It is widely accepted in dermatological physics that the purpose of the tan is not strictly photoprotection but rather a controlled, s…
