Photosynthetic pigments are an integral and vital part of all photosynthetic machinery and
are present in different types and abundances throughout the photosynthetic apparatus …

Biological membranes are tricky to investigate. They are complex in terms of molecular
composition and structure, functional over a wide range of time scales, and characterized by …

During photosynthesis, the plant photosystem II core complex receives excitation energy
from the peripheral light-harvesting complex II (LHCII). The pathways along which excitation …

A diet rich in vegetables has been associated with a reduced risk of many diseases related
to aging and modern lifestyle. Over the past several decades, many researches have …

Solar fuel production often starts with the energy from light being absorbed by an assembly
of molecules; this electronic excitation is subsequently transferred to a suitable acceptor. For …

INTRODUCTION Photosynthetic organisms contain light-harvesting antenna systems to
gather light energy required for driving photochemical reactions. Diatoms are a group of …

Photoprotection of photosystem II (PSII) is essential to avoid the light-induced damage of the
photosynthetic apparatus due to the formation of reactive oxygen species (= photo-oxidative …

The design of optimal light-harvesting (supra) molecular systems and materials is one of the
most challenging frontiers of science. Theoretical methods and computational models play a …

The major light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHCII) has a dual regulatory function
in a process called non-photochemical quenching to avoid the formation of reactive oxygen …

Oxygenic photosynthesis is the principal converter of sunlight into chemical energy on Earth.
Cyanobacteria and plants provide the oxygen, food, fuel, fibers, and platform chemicals for …
