Abstract
The global application of biological enzymes in cultural relics has long been limited to the dimension of “subtractive restoration” for cleaning and decontamination, while traditional inpainting materials have such problems as irreversibility, strong corrosiveness, and obvious color difference. This paper proposes introducing biological melanin dyes synthesized by enzyme catalysis into the field of cultural relic conservation, and constructs a new path of “reversible additive restoration” to break fixed disciplinary thinking. This scheme has safety, authenticity, reversibility, and controllability, fits the restoration scenarios of ancient Chinese and foreign paintings and murals, and designs a complete reversibility verification system, providing an interdisciplinary innovative technical idea for international cultural relic conservation.
