Comparison of Different Methods for Carotenoid Extraction from Dunaliella Salina [PDF]
Background: Dunaliella salina (D. salina) is a unicellular marine alga known for its carotenoid ingredient. Carotenoid has been used in food industry as a coloring additive and as an antioxidant.

Twisted carotenoids do not support efficient intramolecular singlet fission in the orange carotenoid protein [PDF]
Singlet exciton fission is the spin-allowed generation of two triplet electronic excited states from a singlet state. Intramolecular singlet fission has been suggested to occur on individual carotenoid molecules within protein complexes, provided the conjugated backbone is twisted out-of-plane.

Phylogenetic and evolutionary patterns in microbial carotenoid biosynthesis are revealed by comparative genomics. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Carotenoids are multifunctional, taxonomically widespread and biotechnologically important pigments. Their biosynthesis serves as a model system for understanding the evolution of secondary metabolism.

Dynamical simulations of carotenoid photoexcited states using density matrix renormalization group techniques [PDF]
We present a dynamical simulation scheme to model the highly correlated excited state dynamics of linear polyenes. We apply it to investigate the internal conversion processes of carotenoids following their photoexcitation. We use the extended Hubbard-Peierls model, $\hat{H}_{\textrm{UVP}}$, to describe the $\pi$-electronic system coupled to nuclear ...
