From a high-potential biomass perspective, microalgae have recently attracted considerable
attention due to their extensive application in many areas. Although studies searching for …

Chlorophyll-based phototrophs, or chlorophototrophs, convert light energy into stored
chemical potential energy using two types of photochemical reaction center (RC), denoted …

We are reporting characterization of phycocyanin (PC), a prime light harvesting pigment,
composed of nearly the same molecular weight of alpha-(17.5 kDa) and beta-(18.1 kDa) …

Chlorophyll (Chl) is the most abundant pigment in photosynthetic plants, but it is prone to
degradation during processing and storage, limiting its usage in the food industry. This study …

Phycobiliproteins are colored water-soluble proteins found in cyanobacteria with potential
applications in food and pharmaceuticals. Phycobiliproteins extracted from the Thai karstic …

Phycobiliproteins is a family of chromophore-containing proteins having light-harvesting and
antioxidant capacity. The phycocyanin (PC) is a brilliant blue coloured phycobiliprotein …

The distinct sequence feature and spectral blue-shift (~ 10 nm) of phycocyanin, isolated from
Nostoc sp. R76DM (N-PC), were investigated by phylogenetic and crystallographic …

In the present study, we provide a reformulation of the theory originally proposed by Förster
which allows for simple and convenient formulas useful to estimate the relative contributions …

The crystal structure of phycocyanin (pr-PC) isolated from Phormidium rubidum A09DM (P.
rubidum) is described at a resolution of 1.17 Å. Electron density maps derived from …

Phycocyanin (PC) is the principal pigment protein in the light-harvesting antenna of
cyanobacteria. Here the biochemical characterization and the 1.51 Å crystal structure of PC …
