Allophycocyanin (from Greek: ἄλλος (allos) meaning "other", φύκος (phykos) meaning “alga”, and κυανός (kyanos) meaning "blue") is a protein from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, along with phycocyanin, phycoerythrin and phycoerythrocyanin. It is an accessory pigment to chlorophyll. All phycobiliproteins are water-soluble and therefore cannot exist within the membrane like carotenoids, but aggregate forming clusters that adhere to the membrane called phycobilisomes. Allophycocyanin absorbs and emits red light (650 & 660 nm max, respectively), and is readily found in Cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae), and red algae. Phycobilin pigments have fluorescent properties that are used in immunoassay kits. In flow cytometry, it is often abbreviated APC. To be effectively used in applications such as FACS, High-Throughput Screening (HTS) and microscopy, APC needs to be chemically cross-linked.
Allophycocyanin can be isolated from various species of red or blue-green algae, each producing slightly different forms of the molecule. It is composed of two different subunits (α and β) in which each subunit has one phycocyanobilin (PCB) chromophore. The subunit structure for APC has been determined as (αβ)3. The molecular weight of APC is 105,000 Daltons.

Spirulina contains an unusually high amount of protein, between 55% and 77% by dry weight, depending upon the source. It is a complete protein,[citation needed] containing all essential amino acids, though with reduced amounts of methionine, cysteine, and lysine when compared to the proteins of meat, eggs, and milk. It is, however, superior to typical plant protein, such as that from legumes. Essential fatty acids Spirulina tabletsSpirulina is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), and also provides alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), linoleic acid (LA), stearidonic acid (SDA),eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid (AA). Vitamins Spirulina contains vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), vitamin C...

It has a photosynthetic membrane which has a light absorbing part called a phycobilisome. Phycobiliproteins contain a covalently attached chromophore, phycocyanobilin, which is constrained in a pla...

Since our founding in 2002, BioLegend has been an innovator in the field of immunology and biomedical research. As we celebrate our 15th anniversary in 2017, we are looking back at some of the most important moments in the field of immunology that have enabled us to develop our world-class antibodies and reagents. None of our work would be possible without discoveries made at the beginning of the 20th century about antibodies and the nervous system. Building upon this important work, Albert Coons developed techniques to fluorescently label antibodies in 1941. By the 1960s, Fab fragments, Fc receptors, and light and heavy chains of immunoglobulins had been identified. From there, Gerald Edelman and colleagues first described the covalent structure of an entire antibody molecule in 1969. ...
This session was webcast at Pittcon 2012 in Orlando, Florida on Tuesday, March 13, 2012. TITLE: Watching Single Enzymes and Fluorescent Proteins in Action in Solution Using a Microfluidic Trap SPEAKER: Randall H Goldsmith - University of Wisconsin ABSTRACT OVERVIEW: Observation of dynamics of single biomolecules over a prolonged time without altering the biomolecule via immobilization is achieved with a specialized microfluidic device. This device, the Anti-Brownian ELectrokinetic (ABEL) Trap, uses real-time electrokinetic feedback to cancel Brownian motion of single objects in solution. First, we use the ABEL Trap to study Allophycocyanin (APC), a photosynthetic antenna-protein and popular fluorescent probe. A complex relationship between fluorescence intensity and lifetime is ob...
Spirulina is a cyanobacterium that can be consumed by humans and other animals; there are two species, Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima. Arthrospira is cultivated worldwide; used as a dietary supplement as well as a whole food; and is available in tablet, flake and powder form. It is also used as a feed supplement in the aquaculture, aquarium and poultry industries. This video is targeted to blind users.
