Solution Properties of Phycocyanin. VI. The Characterization of the Phycocyanin Monomer [PDF]
Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1980 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

Integration of apo-α-phycocyanin into phycobilisomes and its association with FNRL in the absence of the phycocyanin α-subunit lyase (CpcF) in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Phycocyanin is an important component of the phycobilisome, which is the principal light-harvesting complex in cyanobacteria. The covalent attachment of the phycocyanobilin chromophore to phycocyanin is catalyzed by the enzyme phycocyanin lyase.

Molecules, 2021 Phycocyanin, derived from marine algae, is known to have noteworthy antineoplastic properties. However, the underlying mechanism involved in phycocyanin-mediated anti-growth function on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells is still ambiguous.

Application of phycocyanin from Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis as a hair dye
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Almost all of the current hair dye products today contain synthetic chemicals which may cause allergic reactions in some users. Phycocyanin (PC), a non-toxic cyanobacterial pigment, has been used in the food and cosmetics sectors. There are however, been

Modification of phycocyanin extraction from dry biomass of Spirulina by using ozone water [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Phycocyanin is a water-soluble blue-green pigment from cyanobacteria such as Arthospira plantesis, widely known as Spirulina. The pigment is widely applied as a natural food colorant or consumed as a supplement due to its antioxidant activity. This study
