Compounds (7)
| Compound | Description |
|---|
| diphosphoric acid | |
| lycopene | A carotenoid and red pigment produced by tomatoes, other red fruits and vegetables, and photosynthetic algae. It is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of other carotenoids, and has antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, radioprotective, and anti-inflammatory properties. |
| Lycopene, (7-cis,7'-cis,9-cis,9'-cis)-isomer - | |
| geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate | RN given refers to (E,E,E)-isomer |
| zeta carotene | A carotenoid produced in most carotenogenic organisms. It is one of several sequentially synthesized molecules that are precursors to BETA CAROTENE. |
| phytoene, (15-cis)-isomer | |
| neurosporene, (cis)-isomer | |
