ARTIFICIAL SUBSTRATE. “D-dopachrome tautomerase (DDT) is an enzyme that catalyzes the tautomerization and decarboxylation of the non–naturally occurring substrate D-dopachrome to 5,6-dihydroxyindole. DDT may trace its origin to the invertebrate melanotic encapsulation response, which is a primitive immune defense against tissue invasion.”
