Phycobiliproteins (PBPs) of cyanobacteria and algae possess unique light harvesting capacity which expand the photosynthetically active region (PAR) and allow them to thrive in extreme niches where higher plants cannot. PBPs of cyanobacteria/algae vary in abundance, types, amino acid composition and in structure as a function of species and the habitat that they grow in. In the present review, the key aspects of structure, stability, and spectral properties of PBPs, and their correlation with ecological niche of cyanobacteria are discussed. Besides their role in light-harvesting, PBPs possess antioxidant, anti-aging, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties, which can be used in therapeutics. Recent developments in therapeutic applications of PBPs are reviewed with special focus on '' and ''.
蓝细菌和藻类的藻胆蛋白(PBPs)具有独特的光捕获能力,可扩展光合有效辐射区域(PAR),使它们能够在高等植物无法生存的极端生态位中茁壮成长。蓝细菌/藻类的PBPs在丰度、类型、氨基酸组成和结构上因物种及其生长的栖息地而异。在本综述中,讨论了PBPs的结构、稳定性和光谱特性的关键方面,以及它们与蓝细菌生态位的相关性。除了在光捕获中的作用外,PBPs还具有抗氧化、抗衰老、神经保护、肝脏保护和抗炎特性,可用于治疗。本文综述了PBPs治疗应用的最新进展,特别关注“”和“”。
