[HTML][HTML] Biochemical reactions remote-sensitized by excitons propagating across macroscopic distances along biological fibers: Isomerization of 11-cis-retinal

I Khmelinskii, V Makarov - Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2023 - Elsevier
Presently we report a second example of a biochemical reaction sensitized remotely by
excitons (electronic excited states) efficiently transferred along intermediate filaments (IFs) …

Energy transfer along Müller cell intermediate filaments isolated from porcine retina: II. Excitons at 2500 cm− 1 produced by ADH1A upon hydrolysis of one ATP …

Abstract Low-energy (IR~ 2500 cm− 1) exciton transfer was explored in Müller cell (MC)
intermediate filaments (IFs) isolated from porcine retina and filling a capillary matrix. IR …

Intermediate filaments are natural energy conductors in live cells

Two possible mechanisms describing intra-and inter-cell energy transfer in biological
systems were analyzed. The first one is based on Davydov vibration soliton (DVS) theory …
