Under high irradiance, light becomes dangerous for photosynthetic organisms and they
must protect themselves. Cyanobacteria have developed a simple mechanism, involving a …

The invention of the laser in 1960 gave us the ruby laser, which generally produced chaotic
pulses of light. Six years later, in 1966, a concept called passive mode-locking applied to …

Phytochromes are ubiquitous photoreceptors responsible for sensing light in plants, fungi
and bacteria. Their photoactivation is initiated by the photoisomerization of the embedded …

The orange carotenoid protein (OCP) is a two-domain photoactive protein that noncovalently
binds an echinenone (ECN) carotenoid and mediates photoprotection in cyanobacteria. In …

Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) is a ketocarotenoid-binding protein essential for
photoprotection in cyanobacteria. The main steps of the photoactivated conversion which …

Abstract The Orange Carotenoid Protein (OCP) is a unique photoreceptor crucial for
cyanobacterial photoprotection. Best studied Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 OCP belongs to …

To prepare pumpkin juice (PJ) rich in coenzyme Q10, this study analyzed the chemical
composition, antioxidant activity, and gut microbiota of pumpkin juice fermented by …

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 …

Our analysis of the X-ray crystal structure of canthaxanthin (CAN) showed that its ketolated β-
ionone rings can adopt two energetically equal, but structurally distinct puckers. Quantum …
