Fast preparative isoelectric focusing of phycocyanin subunits in layers of granulated gels [PDF]
A new method is presented for the fast preparative separation of the light-harvesting photosynthetic pigment C-phycocanin into its and subunits, which is based on isoelectric focusing in layers of granutaled gels containing 7 M urea. The method has been

Stabilising phycocyanin by anionic micelles [PDF]
Phycocyanins are pigment-protein complexes with potential application as natural food colourants. The perceived colour of phycocyanins varies with pH, and a method to stabilise the colour over a broad range of pH values is requested by the food industry. In this work, the stabilising effect of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) micelles on pH-induced colour

Phycocyanin C a Natural Product with Impressive Therapeutic Efficacy for Inhibition of Breast Tumors’ Growth and Metastasis in Vivo [PDF]
Background: Several studies have reported the anticancer effect of phycocyanin C, a natural extract isolated from the algae Arthrospira platensis. However, its therapeutic effects on the growth of breast cancer and its metastasis have not been determined

Solution Properties of Phycocyanin. VI. The Characterization of the Phycocyanin Monomer [PDF]
Abstract The monomer molecular weight of phycocyanin was determined by sedimentation equilibrium measurements in 6 mol/1 guanidine hydrochloride (GndCl) and by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The former measurement gave the monomer molecular weight of 4.0×104. From the latter, the phycocyanin was found to

BILIPROTEINS FROM THE BUTTERFLY Pieris brassicae STUDIED BY TIME-RESOLVED FLUORESCENCE AND COHERENT ANTI-STOKES RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY [PDF]
The fluorescence decay time of the biliverdin IX7 chromophore present in biliproteins isolated from Pieris brassicae is determined to be 44 ± 3 ps. This value suggests a cyclic helical chromophore structure. The vibrational frequencies determined by CARS-

Phycocyanin: Anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism
As the host defense response to various injuries and pathogens in the body, inflammation can remove damaged cells and pathogens in the host organism and protect the body. However, excessive inflammation may cause damage to normal tissue cells while removing pathogens, which in turn cause numerous inflammatory diseases and adversely affect the human ...
