What's the difference between harvest and phycocyanin?
Harvest
Definition:

Phycocyanin
Definition:
(n.) Alt. of Phycocyanine
Example Sentences:

(3) Globins and phycocyanins are two classes of proteins with different function, different ligands, and no substantial sequence similarity, yet the conformations of their polypeptide chains show very similar folding patterns.
