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 …

Oxygenic photosynthesis, the principal converter of sunlight into chemical energy on earth,
is catalyzed by four multi-subunit membrane-protein complexes: photosystem I (PSI) …

Photosystems I and II convert solar energy into the chemical energy that powers life.
Chlorophyll a photochemistry, using red light (680 to 700 nm), is near universal and is …

Carotenoids are, along with chlorophylls, the most abundant pigments found in nature. They
are present in most organisms including humans but can be synthesized only by plants and …

This review focuses on the light-harvesting properties of photosystem I (PSI) and its LHCI
outer antenna. LHCI consists of different chlorophyll a/b binding proteins called Lhca's …

Stroke is one of most common causes of death and disability. Most of neuroprotective agents
fail to rescue neurons from cerebral ischemic insults, mainly because of targeting …

This work brings together quantum theory and spectroscopy to convey excitation processes
to advanced students and specialists wishing to conduct research and understand the entire …

Chlorophylls (Chl) play pivotal roles in energy capture, transfer and charge separation in
photosynthesis. Among Chls functioning in oxygenic photosynthesis, Chl f is the most red …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with light-harvesting building blocks designed to mimic
photosynthetic chromophore arrays in green plants provide an excellent platform to study …
