【摘要】 藻胆蛋白（Phycobiliproteins,PBPs）由藻胆素色基与脱辅基蛋白通过共价键连接而成，是蓝藻、红藻和部分隐藻中捕光天线复合物的主要成分.与高等植物和绿藻的捕光天线复合物-叶绿素蛋白复合物相似，藻胆蛋白在光合作用起初阶段担负光能的吸收和传递功能.本文比较了上述2类色素-蛋白复合物，提出藻胆蛋白的特点，有助于吸引更多学者参与其研究和开发；在特性、应用和提取部分讨论了一些值得关注的进展和本团队的近期研究；基于目前生物制药技术的特点，提出了一个不损伤藻细胞提取藻胆蛋白的技术设想.更多还原

【Abstract】 Phycobiliproteins, with phycobilin chromophores covalently linked to apoprotein, are main components of light-harvesting antenna complexes in cyanobacteria,red algae and some cryptophyte algae. Similar to chlorophyll protein complexes, phycobiliproteins are responsible for absorption and transfer of light energy in the initial stage of photosynthesis. Pigment-protein complexes are compared,and characterized in this review. Noteworthy developments and our recent works are discussed. A protocol for extracting phycobiliproteins without damaging algal cells is proposed.更多还原
