Chlorophyll molecules absorb light in the blue and red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and reflect green light, giving plants their characteristic color. In addition to its role in photosynthesis, chlorophyll has been studied for its potential health benefits, including antioxidant and anti-...
Chlorophyll is the most widely recognized molecule used to collect light for photosynthesis, but it's not the only pigment that serves this function. Chlorophyll belongs to a larger class of molecules called anthocyanins. Some anthocyanins function in conjunction with chlorophyll, while others absorb l...
There are different types of chlorophyll molecules, each having a specific function ranging from absorbing light and converting it into energy. Moreover, each chlorophyll molecule absorbs light in different regions. Recently, a new type of chlorophyll called Chl f was discovered, but details like ...
Blankenship (2010) reported that carotenoids are essential for photo-protection and in many cases serve as key regulatory molecules. With high carotenoid contents in hosts than in mistletoes; hosts are better protected from the effects of harmful photo-oxidative processes and from harmful toxic oxygen...
Photosynthesisis the process by which plants convert sunlight into usable chemical energy. This process starts with chlorophyll molecules absorbing light energy from photons and then transferring it to photosystems or the light-harvesting complexes inside the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. It has...
chlorophyll: One of a number ofpigments, including (chlorophyll aand chlorophyll b), that are responsiblefor the green colour of mostplants. Chlorophyll molecules are theprincipal sites of light absorption inthe light-dependent reactions ofphotosynthesis. They are magnesium-containing porphyrins, chemicall...

Chlorophyll (Chl) is essential for light harvesting and energy transduction in photosynthesis. The Chl biosynthesis pathway in higher plants is complex and is mediated by more than 17 enzymes. The formation of Chl can be subdivided into four parts: (1) synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA),...
Water-Soluble Chlorophyll Proteins (WSCPs) from Brassicaceae are non-photosynthetic proteins which tetramerize upon binding four chlorophyll (Chl) molecules. The bound Chls are highly photostable, despite the lack of bound carotenoids known, in Chl-conta
