The publication reviews the results on the tyrosinase inhibition capacity of a short peptide and peptide conjugates with known low molecular weight inhibitors of this enzyme. Tyrosinase is a widespread copper-dependent enzyme capable of catalyzing two reaction pathways for oxidizing monophenols to o-diphenols and o-diphenols to o-quinones. Despite the wide distribution in nature, the peptide chain that builds the catalytic cavity is relatively highly conserved for all organisms. As the research results collected in the work show, the creation of short peptide conjugates with known tyrosinase inhibitors, such as kojic acid, significantly reduces the toxicity of the inhibitor and improves its stability.
