Abstract
The origin of the lactam oxygen atoms of phycocyanobilin from Cyanidium caldarium was studied using 18O labelling. By inhibiting photosynthesis, a high 18O enrichment was maintained in the gas phase and the resulting incorporation of label showed that the lactam oxygen atoms were derived from two oxygen molecules. Slow exchange of these oxygen atoms with water was demonstrated directly by using H218O.Entities:
