Macromolecular physiology of plastids. VI. Changes in membrane structure associated with shifts in the absorption maxima of the chlorophyllous pigments.

Phycocyanin, cyanobacterial antioxidant: structure, function and applications

Phycobilins, open-chain tetrapyrrole pigment molecules, serve as accessory photosynthetic light-harvesting pigments in red algae and cyanobacteria. Phycobilin pigments are covalently linked with proteins and formed phycobiliproteins are organized into large macromolecular complexes called phycobilisomes on the top of the thylakoid membranes. In deep water, only green light is available, thus ph...

Effect of Polymer Concentr ation on the Structure and Performance of Polysulf one Flat Membrane for CO 2 Absorption in Membrane Contactor

Absorption Spectra of a Graphene Embedded One Dimensional Fibonacci Aperiodic Structure

In this paper, we explore the linear response of one dimensionalquasiperiodic structure based on Fibonacci sequence composed of silicon dioxide,polystyrene and graphene materials. Here, a graphene monolayer is sandwichedbetween two adjacent layers. The numerical results are obtained by using the standardtransfer matrix method. Due to the presence of graphene sheet in eac...

Separation Efficiency of Epoxified-Polyethersulfone Blend Membrane for Chromium Removal

A microporous bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) epoxified-polyethersulfone (PES) blend membrane (EPES membrane) was prepared through dry-wet phase inversion. This study attempts to correlate the changes in membrane physical and chemical properties when the EPES membranes were exposed to different durations of dry-phase inversion, towards the separation efficiency of carcinogen chromium (VI)....

Investigation of toxicity of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized by olive extract on growth and pigments in Borago officinalis

                                                                                  The synthesis of metal nanoparticles has attracted the attention of scientists in various fields, particularly in the chemical, physical, biological and medical sciences. Using extract of plant for nanoparticle synthesis can be advantageous over other biological processes because it eliminates the elaborate proc...
