[edit] Structure
Shouldn't there be a picture with the structure of the carotenoids up there? 71.245.246.18 02:17, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- 600 known carotenoids? I can't find that many on this site. Twilight Realm 01:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redshift
Won't a red shift in absorbtion make the apparent color more blue? I don't see how absorbing more red will make the molecule appear more red. Brianf711 19:04, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Template help
If anyone has time, the {{Carotenoids}} template would really benefit from your expertise. Thanks! :) Willow 19:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Synthesis in Corpus Luteum
It's not completely true that carotenoids cannot be synthesized in animals. Beta-carotene can be synthesized from acetyl-CoA and mevalonate in the corpus luteum (Gawienowski AM. Integration of the Metabolic Pathways of Steroids, Carotenoids and Retinoids. Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. 34(6):405-410 (1999)). Icek 14:53, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
