摘要

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in almost all plants, algae and cyanobacteria. Its name is derived from the Greek words chloros meaning green and phyllon meaning leaf. Chlorophyll absorbs light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion. However, it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum, hence the green colour of chlorophyll-containing tissues. Chlorophyll was first isolated by Joseph Bienaime Caventou and Pierre Joseph Pelletier in 1817. It is vital for photosynthesis, for which it harvests solar energy and transduces it into chemical energy. In this process, the energy absorbed by chlorophyll transforms carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen: There are four chemically distinct varieties of chlorophylls known for the last 60 years in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. They are termed as Chi a, b, c and d in the order of their discovery1. The two currently accepted photo-system units are Photosystem II and Photosystem I, which have their distinct reaction centre chlorophylls, named P680 and P700 respectively. These pigments are named after the wavelength (in nanometers) of their red-peak absorption maximum. The identity, function and spectral properties of the types of chlorophyll in each photosystem are distinct and determined by each other and the protein structure surrounding them. Chlorophyll has essentially two parts: a substituted porphyrin ring and phytol (the long carbon chain).
