Sample purification and characterization of the α- and β-crustacyanin pigments from the American lobster for crystallographic and cryo-EM studies. [PDF]
Acta Crystallogr F Struct Biol CommunThe striking blue colour of the American lobster is caused by proteins that interact with the red pigment astaxanthin, causing its colour change. We have purified and characterized the pigments from the American lobster for crystallographic and cryo‐EM studies.The striking blue hue of live Homarus americanus, known as the American lobster, arises from ...

Reaction of Astaxanthin with Peroxynitrite [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2008 The in vitro reactivities of astaxanthin toward peroxynitrite were investigated and the reaction products after scavenging with peroxynitrite were analyzed in order to determine the complete mechanism of this reaction. A series of carotenoids, 13-apo-astaxanthinone (1), 12'-apo-15'-nitroastaxanthinal (2), 12'-apo-astaxanthinal (3), 10'-apo ...
