A new form of chlorophyll C involved in light-harvesting.
A new form of chlorophyll c has been isolated from the pyrmnesiophyte Pavlova gyrans Butcher. This pigment is spectrally similar to chlorophyll c(2), but all the absorption maxima (454, 583, and 630 nm in diethyl ether) are shifted 4 to 6 nanometers to longer wavelengths. The new pigment can be separated from other chlorophyll c-type pigments by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatogr...
متن کاملDivergent light-harvesting complexes
‡Current address: University of Washington, School of Oceanography, Box 357940, Seattle, WA 98195-7940, USA. †Co first authors. Approximately one-half of the total primary production on Earth occurs in the oceans [1]. Although hundreds of species contribute to oceanic productivity, members of two cyanobacterial genera – Prochlorococcus [2,3] and Synechococcus [4] – are responsible for a signifi...
متن کاملIn Vitro Reconstitution of Light-harvesting Complexes of Plants and Green Algae
In plants and green algae, light is captured by the light-harvesting complexes (LHCs), a family of integral membrane proteins that coordinate chlorophylls and carotenoids. In vivo, these proteins are folded with pigments to form complexes which are inserted in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. The high similarity in the chemical and physical properties of the members of the family, tog...
متن کاملAbsorption Enhancement in Peridinin–Chlorophyll–Protein Light-Harvesting Complexes Coupled to Semicontinuous Silver Film
We report on experimental and theoretical studies of plasmon-induced effects in a hybrid nanostructure composed of light-harvesting complexes and metallic nanoparticles in the form of semicontinuous silver film. The results of continuous-wave and time-resolved spectroscopy indicate that absorption of the light-harvesting complexes is strongly enhanced upon coupling with the metallic film spaced...
متن کاملTracing the evolution of the light-harvesting antennae in chlorophyll a/b-containing organisms.
The light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) of land plants and green algae have essential roles in light capture and photoprotection. Though the functional diversity of the individual LHC proteins are well described in many land plants, the extent of this family in the majority of green algal groups is unknown. To examine the evolution of the chlorophyll a/b antennae system and to infer its ancestral...
