Studies on phytochrome. Two photoreversible chromoproteins from etiolated oat seedlings

T S Walker 1,*, J L Bailey 1,†
PMCID: PMC1179642  PMID: 5499973

Abstract

1. The photoreversible chromoprotein phytochrome was extracted from etiolated oat seedlings. The final purification step revealed that there were two photoreversible coloured components. 2. The amino acid composition, spectra and Svedberg coefficients of each component are reported.
