Synthesis of biliverdin derivative bearing the sterically fixed E-anti C/D-ring component
Biliverdin (BV) derivative bearing the E-anti C/D-ring component, which is sterically fixed by 8-membered ring, was synthesized toward investigation of the structure and function of the chromophore, in phytochrome.
