Sun protection and antibacterial activities of carotenoids from the soft coral Sinularia sp. symbiotic bacteria from Panjang Island, North Java Sea

open access: yesSaudi Pharmaceutical Journal, 2023
Carotenoids have shown beneficial applications in cosmetology, pharmacology, and medicine. However, environmental stress in the marine environment can trigger the production of unique secondary metabolites, such as carotenoids.

Assessment of the Role and Origin of S* in Orange Carotenoid Protein Photoconversion [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
The orange carotenoid protein (OCP) is the water-soluble mediator of non-photochemical quenching in cyanobacteria, a crucial photoprotective mechanism in response to excess illumination. OCP converts from a globular, inactive state (OCPo) to an extended, active conformation (OCPr) under high-light conditions, resulting in a concomitant redshift in the ...

Prebiotic Fatty Acid Vesicles through Photochemical Dissipative Structuring [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
We describe the photochemical dissipative structuring of fatty acids from CO and CO2 saturated water under the solar UVC and UVA photon potential prevalent at Earth's surface during the Archean. Their association into vesicles and their subsequent association with other fundamental molecules of life such as RNA, DNA and carotenoids to form the first ...
