Abstract

The present understanding of how interactions between chromophore and protein as well as between chromophore and chromophore in different aggregation states influence the spectral and excited state kinetic properties of phycobiliprotein antenna pigments is discussed. Properties of isolated phycobiliproteins from both cyanobacteria and red algae as well as from cryptophytes and of intact phycobilisomes are covered. The experimental results are discussed in terms of general principles for chromophore coupling and energy transfer. Some controversial topics in this field are outlined.
