Phycobiliproteins are homologous, intensively coloured protein pigments functioning as photosynthetic light‐harvesting complexes. Their ability to absorb light in the visible spectrum is due to various chromophore prosthetic groups, which are linear tetrapyrroles covalently attached to apoprotein. The chromophore composition influences spectral properties and serves as one of the main characteristics of these pigments. The procedures for determining phycobiliprotein chromophore composition and content are described.
