Protein-Induced Color Shift of Carotenoids in β-Crustacyanin
Abstract
β-Crustacyanin (β-CR) is a pigment protein responsible for the blue color of lobsters. We show using correlated ab initio calculations how the protein environment tunes the chromophores of β-CR through electrostatic and steric effects.
