Chlorophyllide a(Cat No.:M061847)is a green, water-soluble pigment derived from the enzymatic removal of the phytol tail from chlorophyll a. It retains the chlorin ring structure with a central magnesium ion, allowing it to absorb light effectively in the blue and red regions of the spectrum. Chlorophyllide a plays a crucial role as an intermediate in chlorophyll biosynthesis and degradation. Due to its solubility and strong light-absorbing properties, it is studied in photobiology, photosynthesis research, and as a photosensitizer in biomedical applications. It is typically generated in plant tissues or through enzymatic extraction processes.
