Abstract
Free fatty acids, like palmitic acid (PA), and xanthophyll pigments, like lutein (LUT) are the natural membrane compounds in plants. To study the effect of PA on LUT and their organization, a model membrane of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) enriched with 2 mol% PA and 1 mol% LUT was formed. Molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between these two compounds were examined with application of molecular spectroscopy techniques, e.g., visible spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared. We determined the monomeric/dimeric organization of LUT in the membrane. We proved that the presence of PA in the lipid phase facilitated and stabilized the formation of LUT structures in the membrane. Lutein with PA did not form strong molecular aggregates like H- and J-structures. We presented the simplified model membrane that could be a suitable representation of the physiological process of de-esterification of PA from LUT appearing in natural biomembranes in humans.

Abstract
In nature, carotenoids are present as trans- and cis-isomers. Various physical and chemical factors like light, heat, acids, catalytic agents, and photosensitizers can contribute to the isomerization of carotenoids. Living organisms in the process of evolution have developed different mechanisms of adaptation to light stress, which can also involve isomeric forms of carotenoids. Particularly, light stress conditions can enhance isomerization processes. The purpose of this work is to review the recent studies on cis/trans isomerization of carotenoids as well as the role of carotenoid isomers for the light capture, energy transfer, photoprotection in light-harvesting complexes, and reaction centers of the photosynthetic apparatus of plants and other photosynthetic organisms. The review also presents recent studies of carotenoid isomers for the biomedical aspects, showing cis- and trans-isomers differ in bioavailability, antioxidant activity and biological activity, which can be used for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.

Abstract
Resonance Raman spectroscopy has long been established as one of the most sensitive techniques for detection, structure characterization and probing the excited-state dynamics of biochemical systems. However, the analysis of resonance Raman spectra is much facilitated when measurements are accompanied by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations which are expensive for large biomolecules. In this work, resonance Raman spectra are therefore computed with the Density Functional Tight-Binding (DFTB) method in the time-dependent excited-state gradient approximation. To test the accuracy of the tight-binding approximations, this method is first applied to typical resonance Raman benchmark molecules like β-carotene and compared to results obtained with pure and range-separated exchange-correlation (xc) functionals. We then demonstrate the efficiency of the approach by considering a computationally challenging heme variation. Overall, we find that the vibrational frequencies and excited-state properties (energies and gradients) which are needed to simulate the spectra are reasonably accurate and suitable for interpretation of experiments. We can therefore recommend DFTB as a fast computational method to interpret resonance Raman spectra.

Abstract
Using the density functional theory (DFT), we calculated the structures and Raman spectra of trans-isomers of α-carotene, β-carotene, γ-carotene and lycopene as well as trans-isomers of modified β-carotene and lycopene molecules with substituted end or/and side groups. The DFT calculations showed that the position of the CC stretching band depends mainly on the number of conjugated CC bonds and decreases with an increase in the conjugation length. The weak dependence of the position of the CC stretching band on the structure of the carotenoid side and end groups suggests that this band can be used to evaluate the conjugation length for trans-isomers of various molecules containing polyene chains. The CC stretching band shifts towards lower wavenumbers with growth of the conjugation length or masses of the end groups and to higher wavenumbers in the presence of the side CH3 groups. The intensities of the CC and CC stretching bands are enhanced with growth of the conjugation length or masses of the end groups. The presence of the side CH3 groups results in bending of the carotenoid backbone, splitting and dumping of intensities of the CC and CC stretching bands.

Abstract
Microalgae are among the most genetically and metabolically diverse organisms on earth, yet their identification and metabolic profiling have generally been slow and tedious. Here, we established a reference ramanome database consisting of single-cell Raman spectra (SCRS) from >9000 cells of 27 phylogenetically diverse microalgal species, each under stationary and exponential states. When combined, prequenching ("pigment spectrum" (PS)) and postquenching ("whole spectrum" (WS)) signals can classify species and states with 97% accuracy via ensemble machine learning. Moreover, the biosynthetic profile of Raman-sensitive metabolites was unveiled at single cells, and their interconversion was detected via intra-ramanome correlation analysis. Furthermore, not-yet-cultured cells from the environment were functionally characterized via PS and WS and then phylogenetically identified by Raman-activated sorting and sequencing. This PS-WS combined approach for rapidly identifying and metabolically profiling single cells, either cultured or uncultured, greatly accelerates the mining of microalgae and their products.

Abstract
Resonance Raman scattering can be used to investigate the ground and excited state information of carotenoid. It is known that the Dushinsky rotation can significantly influence the resonant Raman intensity of β-carotene (β-car). The excited state geometry revealed by the double components feature of the C = C stretching vibrational modes and the environmental dependence of the Raman intensity for each component remain unknown. We explore the influence of environmental factors on the relative intensity of these two C = C stretching vibration modes and perform two-dimensional resonance Raman correlation analysis to reveal the changes on β-car excited state geometry. The results show that the relative wavelength difference between the 0-0 absorption and the excitation is the key factor that decides the intensity ratio of the two components and that the intensity of each mode is modulated by environmental factors. This modulation is closely related to the excited state geometry and dynamics, effective conjugation length, and electron-phonon coupling constant. It also shows that the asynchronous cross-peaks in the two-dimensional resonance Raman correlation spectrum (2DRRCOS) can effectively characterize the degree of the varied electron-phonon coupling with the changing conditions. These results are not only complementary to the research on the excited states of carotenoids but also applicable to investigate the environmental dependence of Raman intensity for a lot of π-conjugated molecules.

Abstract
The soil chromophyte alga Xanthonema (X.) debile contains only non-carbonyl carotenoids and Chl-a. X. debile has an antenna system denoted Xanthophyte light-harvesting complex (XLH) that contains the carotenoids diadinoxanthin, heteroxanthin, and vaucheriaxanthin. The XLH pigment stoichiometry was calculated by chromatographic techniques and the pigment-binding structure studied by resonance Raman spectroscopy. The pigment ratio obtained by HPLC was found to be close to 8:1:2:1 Chl-a:heteroxanthin:diadinoxanthin:vaucheriaxanthin. The resonance Raman spectra suggest the presence of 8-10 Chl-a, all of which are 5-coordinated to the central Mg, with 1-3 Chl-a possessing a macrocycle distorted from the relaxed conformation. The three populations of carotenoids are in the all-trans configuration. Vaucheriaxanthin absorbs around 500-530 nm, diadinoxanthin at 494 nm and heteroxanthin at 487 nm at 4.5 K. The effective conjugation length of heteroxanthin and diadinoxanthin has been determined as 9.4 in both cases; the environment polarizability of the heteroxanthin and diadinoxanthin binding pockets is 0.270 and 0.305, respectively.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria possess a family of one-helix high-light-inducible proteins (HLIPs) that are widely viewed as ancestors of the light-harvesting antenna of plants and algae. HLIPs are essential for viability under various stress conditions, although their exact role is not fully understood. The unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 contains four HLIPs named HliA-D, and HliD has recently been isolated in a small protein complex and shown to bind chlorophyll and β-carotene. However, no HLIP has been isolated and characterized in a pure form up to now. We have developed a protocol to purify large quantities of His-tagged HliC from an engineered Synechocystis strain. Purified His-HliC is a pigmented homo-oligomer and is associated with chlorophyll and β-carotene with a 2:1 ratio. This differs from the 3:1 ratio reported for HliD. Comparison of these two HLIPs by resonance Raman spectroscopy revealed a similar conformation for their bound β-carotenes, but clear differences in their chlorophylls. We present and discuss a structural model of HliC, in which a dimeric protein binds four chlorophyll molecules and two β-carotenes.

Abstract
Carotenoids are among the most important organic compounds present in Nature and play several essential roles in biology. Their configuration is responsible for their specific photophysical properties, which can be tailored by changes in their molecular structure and in the surrounding environment. In this review, we give a general description of the main electronic and vibrational properties of carotenoids. In the first part, we describe how the electronic and vibrational properties are related to the molecular configuration of carotenoids. We show how modifications to their configuration, as well as the addition of functional groups, can affect the length of the conjugated chain. We describe the concept of effective conjugation length, and its relationship to the S0 → S2 electronic transition, the decay rate of the S1 energetic level and the frequency of the ν1 Raman band. We then consider the dependence of these properties on extrinsic parameters such as the polarizability of their environment, and how this information (S0 → S2 electronic transition, ν1 band position, effective conjugation length and polarizability of the environment) can be represented on a single graph. In the second part of the review, we use a number of specific examples to show that the relationships can be used to disentangle the different mechanisms tuning the functional properties of protein-bound carotenoids.

Abstract
Resonance Raman spectroscopy was used to evaluate pigment-binding site properties in the violaxanthin-chlorophyll-a-binding protein (VCP) from Nannochloropsis oceanica. The pigments bound to this antenna protein are chlorophyll-a, violaxanthin, and vaucheriaxanthin. The molecular structures of bound Chl-a molecules are discussed with respect to those of the plant antenna proteins LHCII and CP29, the crystal structures of which are known. We show that three populations of carotenoid molecules are bound by VCP, each of which is in an all-trans configuration. We assign the lower-energy absorption transition of each of these as follows. One violaxanthin population absorbs at 485 nm, while the second population is red-shifted and absorbs at 503 nm. The vaucheriaxanthin population absorbs at 525 nm, a position red-shifted by 2138 cm-1 as compared to isolated vaucheriaxanthin in n-hexane. The red-shifted violaxanthin is slightly less planar than the blue-absorbing one, as observed for the two central luteins in LHCII, and we suggest that these violaxanthins occupy the two equivalent binding sites in VCP at the centre of the cross-brace. The presence of a highly red-shifted vaucheriaxanthin in VCP is reminiscent of the situation of FCP, in which (even more) highly red-shifted populations of fucoxanthin are present. Tuning carotenoids to absorb in the green-yellow region of the visible spectrum appears to be a common evolutionary response to competition with other photosynthetic species in the aquatic environment.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria possess a family of one-helix high light-inducible proteins (Hlips) that are homologous to light-harvesting antenna of plants and algae. An Hlip protein, high light-inducible protein D (HliD) purified as a small complex with the Ycf39 protein is evaluated using resonance Raman spectroscopy. We show that the HliD binds two different β-carotenes, each present in two non-equivalent binding pockets with different conformations, having their (0,0) absorption maxima at 489 and 522 nm, respectively. Both populations of β-carotene molecules were in all-trans configuration and the absorption position of the farthest blue-shifted β-carotene was attributed entirely to the polarizability of the environment in its binding pocket. In contrast, the absorption maximum of the red-shifted β-carotene was attributed to two different factors: the polarizability of the environment in its binding pocket and, more importantly, to the conformation of its β-rings. This second β-carotene has highly twisted β-rings adopting a flat conformation, which implies that the effective conjugation length N is extended up to 10.5 modifying the energetic levels. This increase in N will also result in a lower S1 energy state, which may provide a permanent energy dissipation channel. Analysis of the carbonyl stretching region for chlorophyll a excitations indicates that the HliD binds six chlorophyll a molecules in five non-equivalent binding sites, with at least one chlorophyll a presenting a slight distortion to its macrocycle. The binding modes and conformations of HliD-bound pigments are discussed with respect to the known structures of LHCII and CP29.

Abstract
ECD, ROA, and VCD were used to characterize astaxanthin conformers that differ in their arrangements of the β-ionone ring in respect to the chain. We obtained ECD spectra experimentally, and the ECD, ROA, and VCD spectra of both individual conformers and conformation-averaged mixtures were predicted using quantum-chemical calculations at the CAM-B3LYP level of theory using the PCM solvation model. The chiroptical methods employed (particularly ECD and ROA) were considerably more sensitive to conformational changes of astaxanthin compared to "mono-signed" conventional Raman spectroscopy. Strikingly, conformers that are the same optical isomers (e.g., of 3S,3'S-astxanthin), while geometrically nearly mirror images, exhibited sign-inversed ECD and ROA spectra. The conformational sensitivity of these chiroptical methods makes them a promising tool in the study of carotenoids in the natural environment (for instance, in de novo algal or yeast astaxanthin sources).

Abstract
Cyanobacteria have established dominant aquatic populations around the world, generally in aggressive environments and under severe stress conditions, e.g., intense solar radiation. Several marine strains make use of compounds such as the polyenic molecules for their damage protection justifying the range of colours observed for these species. The peridinin/chlorophyll-a/protein complex is an excellent example of essential structures used for self-prevention; their systems allow to them surviving under aggressive environments. In our simulations, few protective dyes are required to the initial specimen defense; this is an important data concern the synthetic priority in order to supply adequate damage protection. Raman measurements obtained with 1064 and 514.5 nm excitations for Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii and Microcystis aeruginosa strains shows bands assignable to the carotenoid peridinin. It was characterized by bands at 1940, 1650, 1515, 1449, 1185, 1155 and 1000 cm(-1) assigned to ν(C=C=C) (allenic vibration), ν(C=C/CO), ν(C=C), δ(C-H, C-18/19), δ(C-H), ν(C-C), and ρ(C-CH3), respectively. Recognition by Raman spectroscopy proved to be an important tool for preliminaries detections and characterization of polyene molecules in several algae, besides initiate an interesting discussion about their synthetic priority.

Abstract
The resonance Raman spectra of the fundamental, combination and overtone modes around the CC and CC stretches of all-trans-β-carotene in 1,2-dichloroethane solution are obtained from the 293K to 83K temperature range. The results indicate that the intensity of the fundamentals in the liquid and solid phases generally increases as the temperature decreases, except for the liquid-solid phase transition, which exhibits a decreasing trend. The Raman intensities ratio between the fundamentals υ1 and υ2, combinations (overtones) and the fundamentals both increases with decreasing temperature. The Raman bandwidths of the CC bonds gradually become narrow as the temperature decreases. These varieties of relative intensity are analyzed using the coherent weakly damped electron-lattice vibration mode, the effective conjugation length mode as well as the theory of electron-phonon interaction in this work.

Abstract
The electronic properties of carotenoid molecules underlie their multiple functions throughout biology, and tuning of these properties by their in vivo locus is of vital importance in a number of cases. This is exemplified by photosynthetic carotenoids, which perform both light-harvesting and photoprotective roles essential to the photosynthetic process. However, despite a large number of scientific studies performed in this field, the mechanism(s) used to modulate the electronic properties of carotenoids remain elusive. We have chosen two specific cases, the two β-carotene molecules in photosystem II reaction centers and the two luteins in the major photosystem II light-harvesting complex, to investigate how such a tuning of their electronic structure may occur. Indeed, in each case, identical molecular species in the same protein are seen to exhibit different electronic properties (most notably, shifted absorption peaks). We assess which molecular parameters are responsible for this in vivo tuning process and attempt to assign it to specific molecular events imposed by their binding pockets.
