Heterogeneous expression of multiple genes in the nucleus of transgenic plants requires the introduction of an individual gene and the subsequent backcross to reconstitute multi-subunit proteins or metabolic pathways....
Using the crystal structure of allophycocyanin from cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis (APC-SP) as a search model, the crystal structure of allophycocyanin from red algae Porphyra yezoensis (APC-PY) has been studied b...
The mechanisms of excitation energy transfer within allophycocyanin monomer with the theory of generalized master equation (GME) and the technique of time-resolved fluorescence anisotropic spectroscopy are studied. In...
A new model is proposed to study the interaactions among chromphores in APC trimer. Using this model, the electronic transition frequencies are calculated. The results are in good agreement with the experimental.
The genes coding for the α-and β-subunit of allophycocyanin (apcA and apcB) fromthe cyanophyte Spirulina maxima were cloned and sequenced. The results revealed 44.4% of nucleotidesequence similarity and 30.4% of sim...
The allophycocyanin core is situated between the photosynthetic reaction center and the rods of a phycobilisome of algae and it accepts the excitation energy from the rods and then transfers the energy into the reacti...
THE phycobilisomes in blue-green algae and red algae are the functional units which absorb and transfer light energy. These supramolecular aggregates are attached on the outer surface of the thylakoid or photosyntheti...
