I n t r o d u c t i o n : P h y c o b i l i p r o t e i n s are photosynthetic l i g h t - h a r v e s t i n g pigments i n blue-green and red a l g a e , where they are organized - together with uncolored peptides - into complex s t r u c t u r e s , the phycobilisomes, attached to the outer t h y l a k o i d s u r f a c e . Within the phycobilisome the energy i s probably t r a n s f e r r e d by the Förster mechanism, but the d e t a i l s are yet i n s u f f i c i e n t l y understood. I n an approach complementary to the i n v e s t i g a t i o n of phycobilisomes and large f r a c t i o n s t h e r e o f , we are c u r r e n t l y studying i s o l a t e d p h y c o b i l i p r o t e i n s and t h e i r aggregates by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The expected understanding of t h e i r chromophore-protein and chromophore-chromophore i n t e r a c t i o n s should give u s e f u l information on the energy t r a n s f e r i n the more complex systems. Since fluorescence i s one of the most s e n s i t i v e i n d i c a t o r s for any conformational changes of the chromophore, i t can also be used to study the ( p a r t i a l ) denatu-r a t i o n of b i 1 i p r o t e i n s . Here we wish to report on the fluorescence of C-Phycocyanin and i t s subunits from Mastigocladus laminosus.
B i l i p r o t e i n s : M. laminosus was grown on Castenholz medium and harvested a f t e r 3 days. C-Phycocyanin was i s o l a t e d with minor modifications as described e a r l i e r ( l ) . The subunits were separated by p r e p a r a t i v e e l e c t r o f o c u s i n g on Sephadex G 75 i n 8M urea on a S e r v a l y t g r a d i e n t , pH 4-9. The <x und ß subunits were eluted and renatured on a Biogel P6 column without delay. Phyco-cyanin aggregates ( t r i m e r s = (c*,ß)_) were d i s s o c i a t e d with NaSCN(lM) to monomers ( c * , ß ) . The Sedimentation c o e f f i c i e n t s of the samples (extrapolated to t = 0 ) , are shown i n t a b l e 1.

Measurement and Data A n a l y s i s : The fluorescence decay k i n e t i c s were measured with a synchronously pumped mode-locked dye l a s e r (rhodamine 6G, 80 MHz r e p e t i t i o n r a t e , pulse w i d t h ^ 2 p s e c ) and a r e p e t i t i v e l y working s t r e a k camera (nadland P h o t o n i c s ) . The time r e s o l u t i o n of t h i s system i s appx. 25 psec without deconvolution procedure. The apparatus allows measurements with small e x c i t a t i o n i n t e n s i t i e s (10*3 photons per pulse and cm^) with good s i g n a l to noise r a t i o due to the high r e p e t i t i o n r a t e . P o l a r i z e r s were placed i n the e x c i t a t i o n and emission path for p o l a r i z e d measurements .

0 ( t ) and D ( t ) ) are deter
mined under the assumption of a biexponential response function by means of a Marquardt-Algorithm. The f i t curves as w e l l as t h e i r decay times and r e l a t i v e amplitudes are shown i n the f i g u r e s .
R e s u l t s and D i s c u s s i o n :
Rather complex decay laws can be expected to d e s c r i b e the f l u o r e s c e n c e decay curves i n view of the composite nature of the systems under study. The p r e s e n t l y a v a i l a b l e S/N r a t i o and dynamic range does not allow a d i s t i n c t i o n between the p r e d i c t i o n s of the various models. Although i t i s found th a t a l l decay curves can be f i t t :d w e l l as convolutions of a b i e x p o n e n t i a l , the r a t e cons t a n t s presented i n t h i s paper must s t i l l be considered as purely d e s c r i p t i v e , ( t a b l e l )
The c a l c u l a t e d i s o t r o p i c fluorescence decay ( l0 ( t ) ) agrees w e l l
with the experimentally observed decay when the p o l a r i z e r i s s e t at the magic angle. The a n i s o t r o p i c decay components ( D ( t ) ) are p r i n c i p a l l y s h o r t e r l i v e d , and t h e i r f a s t decaying c o n t r i b u t i o n i s more pronounced than i n the i s o t r o p i c decay. D e p o l a r i z a t i o n by r o t a t i o n of the e n t i r e p r o t e i n can be excluded with the molecular weight being i n the range between 18 (o<-subunit)'and 120 kDalton ( t r i m e r (^,β)^). Local motions of the chromophore region are a l s o u n l i k e l y , because the chromophores are b e l i e v e d to be held r i g i d l y by the p r o t e i n , and large angular motions would be r e q u i r e d for the observed d e p o l a r i z a t i o n . The a l t e r n a t i v e d e p o l a r i z a t i o n mechanism i s then energy t r a n s f e r among neighbouring, n o n p a r a l l e l chromophores, which has a l r e a d y been studied by s e v e r a l groups b y
