Photosynthesis is the natural process that converts solar photons into energy-rich products
that are needed to drive the biochemistry of life. Two ultrafast processes form the basis of …

Ultrafast energy transfer is used to transmit electronic excitation among the many molecules
in photosynthetic antenna complexes. Recent experiments and theories have highlighted …

Chlorophototrophic organisms have a charge-separating reaction centre (RC) complex that
receives energy from a dedicated light-harvesting (LH) antenna. In the purple phototrophic …

Photosynthesis is the principal solar energy conversion process on Earth, but is low in
overall efficiency due to numerous steps necessary to fix carbon. Tapping into the high …

Photosynthetic units perform energy transfer remarkably well under a diverse range of
demanding conditions. However, the mechanism of energy transfer, from excitation to …

The first use of the word 'chlorophyll'(chlorophile or chlorophyle in the French original)
appeared in two papers by Pierre-Joseph Pelletier and Joseph Bienaimé Caventou …

We present here the research contributions of Jan Amesz (1934–2001) on deciphering the
details of the early physico-chemical steps in oxygenic photosynthesis in plants, algae and …

Abstract Louis Nico Marie (LNM) Duijsens (Duysens) was one of the giants in the biophysics
of photosynthesis. His PhD thesis “Transfer of Excitation Energy in Photosynthesis”(Duysens …

Paper describes principles and application of a novel routine that enables the quantitative
analysis of the photochemical O–J phase of the variable fluorescence F v associated with …

Based on single molecule spectroscopy analysis and our preliminary theoretical studies, the
linear and fluorescence spectra of the PSI trimer from Arthrospira platensis with different …
