Researchers from Chiba University synthesized two chlorophyll derivatives (ChG2 and ChG3) that self-assemble into rosette patterns, columnar stacks, and disc-shaped aggregates depending on the solvent ...

Synthetic materials rarely mimic the dynamic helicity observed in biological systems like DNA and proteins, often forming ...

RIKEN researchers have found out how light energy harvested by pigments besides chlorophyll is transferred to the molecular ...

A chlorophyll-based polymer shows stepwise evolution from nonhelical to helical structures, offering a new route to adaptive ...

Researchers found a freshwater alga captures far-red light by precisely arranging ordinary chlorophyll molecules rather than using new pigments opening doors for bioenergy and protein design.

Researchers have announced two major polymer science advances: a self-assembling polymer system that improves gene delivery safety and efficiency, and a chlorophyll-based supramolecular polymer that ...

Chlorophyll is a type of phytochemical that gives plants their green color and plays a vital role in photosynthesis—the process that turns sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into energy. It’s one of ...
