Chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls, together with carotenoids, serve, noncovalently
bound to specific apoproteins, as principal light-harvesting and energy-transforming …

This review summarizes our current state of knowledge on the structural organization and
functional pattern of photosynthetic water splitting in the multimeric Photosystem II (PS II) …

The reactions of light induced oxidative water splitting were analyzed within the framework
of the empirical rate constant–distance relationship of non-adiabatic electron transfer in …

Herbicides that target photosystem II (PSII) compete with the native electron acceptor
plastoquinone for binding at the QB site in the D1 subunit and thus block the electron …

Persistent spectral hole burning at 4.5 K has been used to investigate the excitonic energy
level structure and the excited state dynamics of the recombinant class-IIa water-soluble …

This minireview summarizes our current knowledge on structure, energetics and the
functional mechanisms of the reaction centres (RCs) of non-oxygenic photosynthesis and …

The present study describes the fluorescence emission properties of recombinant water-
soluble chlorophyll (Chl) protein (WSCP) complexes reconstituted with either Chl a or Chl b …

This chapter reviews our current knowledge on the reactions leading to light-induced water
splitting into molecular oxygen and hydrogen, bound in the form of plastoquinol. This …

The photoinduced charge separation in Q B-depleted reaction centers (RCs) from
Rhodobacter sphaeroides R-26 in solid air-dried and vacuum-dried (~ 10− 2 Torr) films …

On the basis of the recently reported X-ray crystal structure of light-harvesting complex 1–
reaction center (LH1-RC) complex from Thermochromatium tepidum, we investigate …
