Abstract
A kinetic study of the photochemical interconversion of 3 geometric photoisomers of bilirubin under anaerobic conditions was performed by using high-pressure liquid chromatography. Rapid and definite interconversion among these 3 peaks and the parent pigment occurred on irradiation by blue light.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
