| This produces one molecule of biliverdin and one molecule of carbon monoxide. |
| Destruction of these cells releases haem from their haemoglobin, which is quickly metabolized in the liver to biliverdin and, in turn, to bilirubin. |
| Her jaundiced skin now shimmered with a light green hue from biliverdin. |
| This finding implied that the mutants are defective in heme-oxygenase, an enzyme that converts heme into biliverdin. |
| Natural bacterial phytochrome photoreceptors utilize low molecular weight biliverdin as a chromophore and provide many advantages over other chromophore binding proteins. |
| The color is because of the pigment biliverdin, which has antioxidant qualities. |
