The bile-pigment chromophores of C-phycoerythrin (phycoerythrobilin) and C-phycocyanin (phycocyanobilin) were cleaved from their respective proteins with boiling methanol or butan-1-ol. They were purified as dicarboxylic acids by preparative reverse-phase liquid chromatography. Each pigment existed in two principal forms, which were characterized by using 20 pmol samples by proton-transfer chemical-ionization mass spectroscopy. These two principal forms were isomeric species, and all had protonated parent molecular ions with m/e 587, corresponding to a molecular weight of 586.
