Notes: The mechanism responsible for the green colouration of blood plasma in the marine fish Clinocottus analis was studied. Biliverdin in the blood of this fish is unconjugated and is tightly bound to albumin-like proteins. Hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds contributed more than electrostatic interactions to the binding between the bile pigment and the carrier protein. This special biliverdin protein complex was not metabolized by biliverdin reductase, and prevented the further metabolism or excretion of the bile pigment. This accounts for the normal green colouration of the blood plasma in this fish.
