Compound as reactive (2)
a reduced electron donor + oxygen + 5,6-dihydroxyindole → 2 H2O + an oxidized electron donor + indole-5,6-quinone
2 H+ + oxygen + 5,6-dihydroxyindole → 2 H2O + indole-5,6-quinone
Compound as product (1)
H+ + L-dopachrome → 5,6-dihydroxyindole + CO2
Reversible reaction (1)
D-dopachrome + H+ ↔ 5,6-dihydroxyindole + CO2
