Four analogs of the carotenoprotein alpha-crustacyanin have been prepared by reconstitution with the ah-trans isomer of four new carotenoids (10-F, 10,10'-F-2 and 14-F-astaxanthins, and 10'-F-adonirubin). All four blue carotenoproteins exhibit absorption spectra similar to that of the natural alpha-crustacyanin with lambda(max) in the range of 613-625 nm. Different rates of pigment formation and yields were noted. F NMR spectra of pigments derived from the three 10F carotenoids have been recorded. Four cis isomers of 14-F-astaxanthin and one of 10'-F-adonirubin were also isolated. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
