A new kind of chlorophyll that catches sunlight from just beyond the red end of the visible light spectrum has been discovered. The new pigment extends the known range of light that is usable by most ...

Pigments found in plants and purple bacteria employed to provide protection from sun damage do more than just that. Researchers have found that they also help to harvest light energy during ...

For the first time in more than 60 years, researchers have found a new kind of chlorophyll, the pigment used by both plants and bacteria to catch sunlight and convert it into energy by means of ...

Photosynthesis is one of the most important processes on Earth. It is the method by which green plants, algae, and some ...

Whenever you see green color out in nature, you are likely to look at chlorophyll. This is the pigment used by all plants to do photosynthesis. There are two versions, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.

Researchers may have found a new form of chlorophyll, the pigment that plants, algae and cyanobacteria use to obtain energy from light through photosynthesis. Preliminary findings published August 19 ...

A microscopic green pigment can provide major insights into how severe tropical cyclones called typhoons impact water flow and ecosystems. Called chlorophyll a, the pigment is responsible for ...

The oxidation of plant biomass by enzyme catalysed reactions is a basic mechanism in the global carbon cycle and of increasing importance and value for industrial applications. The major plant cell ...

Water-soluble protein helps to understand the photosynthetic apparatus. Whenever you see green color out in nature, you are likely to look at chlorophyll. This is the pigment used by all plants to do ...
