Picosecond time-resolved fluorescence of phycobiliproteins [PDF]

, 1990
The α- and β-subunits of C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus were prepared according to revised procedures. Both subunits are isolated as dimers, which can be dissociated into monomers with detergent mixtures.

Phycobilisome isolation and C-phycocyanin purification from the cyanobacterium Aphanizomenon gracile

Photosynthetica, 2019
Cyanobacterial phycobilisomes are made up from phycobiliproteins held together by linker proteins. Incident photons are absorbed by the phycobiliproteins that carry linear tetrapyrrole chromophores with extended conjugated bond systems.

Studies on phycobiliproteins in Algae. VI. Light-harvesting phycobiliprotein pigments in some Rhodophyta from the Adriatic Sea

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The phycobiliprotein content in 5 species of red algae from the coast of the Adriatic Sea' was studied by chromatography on Sephadex G-100. The phycobiliproteins, R-phycoerythrin, C-phycocyanin and allophycocyanin were identified.
