In plants and cyanobacteria, the primary step in oxygenic photosynthesis, the light induced
charge separation, is driven by two large membrane intrinsic protein complexes, the …

The primary processes in all photosynthetic systems involve the absorption of energy from
(sun) light by chromophores in a light harvesting antenna, and the subsequent transfer of …

Excitons are considered as the basic concept used by describing the spectral properties of
photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and excitation dynamics in photosynthetic light …

The energy transfer and charge separation kinetics in core Photosystem I (PSI) particles of
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been studied using ultrafast transient absorption in the …

The structure of photosystem I from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus
elongatus has been recently resolved by x-ray crystallography to 2.5-Å resolution. Besides …

Observing the elementary steps of light-harvesting in real time is now possible using
femtosecond spectroscopy. This, combined with new structural data, has allowed a fairly …

Photosystem I of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus contains two spectral pools
of chlorophylls called C-708 and C-719 that absorb at longer wavelengths than the primary …

We model the energy transfer and trapping kinetics in PSI. Rather than simply applying
Förster theory, we develop a new approach to self-consistently describe energy transfer in a …

The task to simulate realistic absorption spectra of electronic transitions in pigment
molecules takes the form of the art of optimization, particularly if one must choose between …

The energy transfer and charge separation kinetics in several core Photosystem I particles of
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with point mutations around the PA and PB reaction center …
