Anti-R-PC | R-phycocyanin

Product Specifications

Background

Phycocyanin is a phycobiliprotein in the light-harvesting complexes (phycobilisomes) of red algae and cyanobacteria. Its alpha and beta subunits contain phycocyanobilin chromophores, and in red algal R-PC they also contain phycoerythrobilin chromophores.

Storage Conditions

Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
