Allochlorophyll
Definition
An isomeric form of chlorophyll, obtained artificially or arising through minor chemical and structural alteration of the natural green pigment in plant or algal cells. This organic compound retains its basic properties in capturing the light spectrum, but exhibits modifications in the molecular structure of the porphyrin ring, being studied in plant physiology laboratories to understand the stability of the photosynthesis process.
