Unravelling the chemical basis of the bathochromic shift of the lobster carapace carotenoprotein crustacyanin

Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter will review the atomic structural details of the lobster carotenoid-protein complex, crustacyanin, discovered in the last 5 years, and also present, in that context, an overview description of several new carotenoid crystal structures, protein free, in various new crystal packing arrangements. The interrelationship of structure, dynamics and function and the tuning of the colours are well illustrated by these molecular structures. This field of structural chemistry research contains much that is seemingly magical, namely the colour shift and the mystery to us of how this has evolved in Nature. © 2008 Springer..
