Deepening inside the pictorial layers of Etruscan sarcophagus of Hasti Afunei: An innovative micro-sampling technique for Raman/SERS analyses [PDF]
, 2019 The Hasti Afunei sarcophagus is a large Etruscan urn, made up of two chalky alabaster monoliths. Dated from the last quarter of the third century BC, it was found in 1826 in the small town of Chiusi (Tuscany- Il Colle place) by a landowner, Pietro Bonci ...

Nature of the Pigment of Aplysia depilans [PDF]
Nature, 1955 BY heating an aqueous solution of the actual excretion of the Mediterranean sea-slug Aplysia depilans, the violet pigment is separated from its protein part. The colour of the aqueous solution varies conformably with the pH, from blue (pH 1—2) to garnet red (pH 8—12.0).

THE NATURE OF THE GECKO VISUAL PIGMENT [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1956 Retinal extracts of the Australian gecko, Phyllurus milii (White), have revealed the presence of a photosensitive pigment, unusual for terrestrial animals, because of its absorption maximum at 524 mµ. This pigment has an absorption spectrum which is identical in form with that of other visual chromoproteins.

PHOTOCHEMICAL RING-OPENING IN meso-CHLORINATED CHLOROPHYLLS [PDF]
, 1990 Irradiation of 20-chloro-chlorophylls of the a-type with visible light produces long-wavelength shifted photoproducts, which transform in the dark to linear tetrapyrroles (bile pigments).

THE NATURE OF THE LAMPREY VISUAL PIGMENT [PDF]
The Journal of General Physiology, 1956 From the retina of the land-locked population of the sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, a photolabile pigment was extracted which was identified spectrophotometrically as a member of the rhodopsin group of pigments. Using the absorption spectrum of a relatively pure solution and analysis by means of difference spectra, the peak of this pigment was placed

Boundaries of photosynthesis: adaptations of carbon fixation in extreme environments
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Photosynthesis faces challenges from environmental extremes of temperature, pH, and salinity, limiting gas diffusion, modifying membrane fluidity, and destabilizing photochemical and biochemical reactions. Photosynthetic organisms have evolved unique adaptations overcoming these stresses and maintaining their photosynthetic activity.
