Semiempirical AM1 studies on phycocyanobilin, the most abundant chromophore in the light-harvesting phycobiliproteins and a suitable model of the phytochrome chromophore, have been carried out. For the all-Z isomer, the structures and energies of all possible conformers, which arise from rotation ab
