Abstract
Phycobiliproteins are important light-harvesting complexes and energy-transfer components in the photosynthetic systems of algae. Information about the structure and photophysical properties of C-phycocyanin (C-PC) has been obtained by a crystallographic method and by time-resolved spectroscopic techniques, respectively. We have obtained single crystals of R-phycoerythrin (R-PE) from the marine red alga Polysiphonia urceolata and have explored their time-resolved and excitation-dependent fluorescence spectra.
