title: The pigment stoichiometry in a chlorophyll a/c type photosynthetic antenna.
abstract: The trimeric fucoxanthin-chlorophyll a/c protein (FCP) was purified from a Japanese brown alga, Cladosiphon okamuranus TOKIDA. Its pigment stoichiometry was determined to be chlorophyll (Chl) a:Chl c                         (1):Chl c                         (2):fucoxanthin = 4.6:1.1:1.0:5.5 by a combination of binary HPLC and (1)H NMR spectroscopy. No violaxanthin found bound to the FCP. The ratio of Chl c/Chl a in this FCP is amongst the highest so far reported.
