Construction of energy transfer model of C-phycocyanin and allophycocyanin from Spirulina platensis

Wang, Zhou, Zeng

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

PHYCOBILIPROTEINS. which include phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, phycoerythroeyanin and allophycocyanin, are intensively coloured, highly fluorescent, water soluble chromoproteins. They are composed of at least two dissimilar polypeptides, α and β subunits, in a molar ratio of 1:1. The subunits possess linear tetrapyrrole prosthetic groups covalently linked to the primary structure via cysteine thioether linkages. In blue-green and red algae, phycobiliproteins occur in a supramolecular structure, the phycobilisome, located on the surface of thylakoid to act
