Bacteriochlorophyll a

Cas：17499-98-8

Product Information：

Bacteriochlorophyll a is a Bacteriochlorophyll from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides. Bacteriochlorophylls a, b, and g are bacteriochlorins, meaning their molecules have a bacteriochlorin macrocycle ring with two reduced pyrrole rings (B and D). Bacteriochlorophylls c, d, e, and f are chlorins, meaning their molecules have a chlorin macrocycle ring with one reduced pyrrole ring (D).
