Phycocyanin, Phycoerythrin, Phytochrom, Circulardichroism, D enaturation The circulardichroism spectra (cd) of native and (partially) urea-denaturated C-phycocyanin (PC) in the spectral range 700-210 nm are presented. The large ellipticities observed in the chromophoric region of native PC are retained in the fully denatured state (8 M urea). This is similar to the behavior of the red form of p...

Previous spectroscopic studies on the phycocyanobilin-containing peptide beta-2T from Synechococcus sp. 6301 C-phycocyanin and the phycoerythrobilin-containing peptide beta-2TP from Porphyridium cruentum B-phycoerythrin indicated a different single thioether mode of attachment, postulated to be through the D-ring of the tetrapyrrole, in contrast to the A-ring linkage established for the other s...

R-Phycoerythrin contains two covalently bound bilin prosthetic groups, phycoerythrobilin and phycourobilin. The two chromophore types were separated as their peptide-bound derivatives by subjecting tryptic digests of R-phycoerythrin to adsorption chromatography on Sephadex G-25. The structure and apoprotein linkages of the bound phycoerythrobilin were found to be identical with those previously...

The effect of different CO2 concentrations and their subsequent light changes on the photosynthetic characteristics Porphyra yezoensis are not well understood. relationship between availability to physiological traits thalli could help understand response adaptation mechanisms P. extreme weather changes. In this study, at was determined. Under low intensity, high concentration promoted relative...
