Description
Chlorophyll a is a key green pigment in oxygenic photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a has the dual functions of light harvesting and converting light energy into chemical energy through charge separation in photosystems I and II. Chlorophyll a has antioxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effects. Chlorophyll a can be used in researches for photosynthetic mechanisms and inflammation-related diseases[1][2][3][4].
