Chlorophyll Pickup in Extractions | Skunk Pharm Research
Chlorophyll specifically, is only able to form complexes with other molecules to stay in solution at biological pH (7.4). Its natural environment is at a pH of around 4 not 7.4. At this pH it has a net charge of - 2 so that it can form a chemo-gradient for electron transport during photosynthesis. So since pH =-log [OH - / H +] when at pH 4 the ...
