Abstract: The energy and charge-transfer processes in photosystem I (PS I) complexes isolated from cyanobacteria Thermosynechococcus elongatus and Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 were investigated by pump-to-probe femtosecond spectroscopy. The formation of charge-transfer (CT) states in excitonically… read more here.

Abstract: Chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls, together with carotenoids, serve, noncovalently bound to specific apoproteins, as principal light-harvesting and energy-transforming pigments in photosynthetic organisms. In recent years, enormous progress has been achieved in the elucidation of structures and… read more here.
