title: Fourier-transform Raman and infrared spectroscopic analysis of novel biliverdin compounds.
abstract: The vibrational spectroscopy of novel biliverdin compounds were studied by Fourier-transform Raman (FT-Raman) and infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The effects of type, length and position of substituents at C(8) and C(12) or C(1) and C(19) of tetrapyrroles on FT-Raman and FT-IR spectra of these compounds, are discussed. The marker bands are developed in order to distinguish between etiobiliverdin and mesobiliverdin.
