21. Proposed component-based biosynthesis of kedarcidin chromophore . 22. Opsins are responsible for adjusting wavelength dependence of the chromophore light induced isomerization reaction. 23. Therefore, opsins act by determining chromophore sensitivity to light at any given wavelength. 24. This breakthrough material provides the exact chromophore the human retina naturally has for light protection. 25. The solvent-chromophore interaction is drawn as a parabolic potential in both electronic states. 26. Here the auxochrome (-OH ) is conjugated with the chromophore -NO 2. 27. The molecule that originally absorbs the UV-photon is called a " chromophore ". 28. The eleven conjugated double bonds that form the chromophore of the molecule are highlighted in red. 29. Like all phycobiliproteins, it is composed of a protein part covalently binding chromophores called phycobilins. 30. Franck Condon considerations can also be applied to the electronic transitions of chromophores dissolved in liquids.
