28. fr, represent the thermally stable forms in the phytochrome photocycle, which absorb red (r) and far-red (fr) light, respectively.
29. Correspondingly shifted absorption values are also found when phytochrome is reconstituted from recombinant oat apoprotein with native phytochromobilin (1), which is isolable from algae in small amounts and only with difficulties. This successful reproduction of phytochrome reconstitution based on native 1 minimizes the risk of artifacts that might have arisen in reconstitution employing the now readily available synthetic 1.
