Echinenone vibrational properties: From solvents to the orange carotenoid protein.
Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1847 , 1044-54, (2015) Orange carotenoid protein (OCP) is a cyanobacterial photoactive protein which binds echinenone as a chromophore; it is involved in photoprotection of these photosynthetic organisms against intense illumination. In its resting state, OCP appears orange (OCPo),... |
