Chlorin e4 is a chlorin derivative used for research. Chlorin is the base molecule for chlorophyll, which is the basic photosensitive pigment for chloroplasts, the photosynthesizing organelles in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Acting as a photosensitizer, CE4 efficiently absorbs light energy, enabling the initiation of chemical reactions. Moreover, Chlorin E4 plays a vital role in photobiology research, allowing for the examination of light′s impact on biological systems. It facilitates the study of light′s influence on organismal growth, development, as well as photosynthesis in plants.
