Energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes LHCII and CP29 of spinach studied with three pulse echo peak shift and transient grating [PDF]

, 2003
Three pulse echo peak shift and transient grating (TG) measurements on the plant light-harvesting complexes LHCII and CP29 are reported. The LHCII complex is by far the most abundant light-harvesting complex in higher plants and fulfills several ...

STUDY ON THE STRUCTURAL BASIS OF PERIPHERAL LIGHT HARVESTING COMPLEXES (LH2) IN PURPLE NON-SULPHUR PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIA

Indonesian Journal of Chemistry, 2010
Photosynthesis provides an example of a natural process that has been optimized during evolution to harness solar energy efficiently and safely, and finally to use it to produce a carbon-based fuel.

Understanding the Changes in the Circular Dichroism of Light Harvesting Complex II upon Varying Its Pigment Composition and Organization [PDF]

, 2007
In this work we modeled the circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of LHCII, the main light harvesting antenna of photosystem II of higher plants. Excitonic calculations are performed for a monomeric subunit, taken from the crystal structure of trimeric LHCII ...

Molecular mechanism of SRP-dependent light-harvesting protein transport to the thylakoid membrane in plants

Photosynthesis Research, 2018
The light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding proteins (LHCP) belong to a large family of membrane proteins. They form the antenna complexes of photosystem I and II and function in light absorption and transfer of the excitation energy to the photosystems.

Single-photon absorption by single photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes [PDF]

, 2018
We provide a unified theoretical approach to the quantum dynamics of absorption of single photons and subsequent excitonic energy transfer in photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes. Our analysis combines a continuous mode ⟨ n ⟩ -photon quantum optical

Antenna Modification in a Fast-Growing Cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 Leads to Improved Efficiency and Carbon-Neutral Productivity

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Our planet is sustained by sunlight, the primary energy source made accessible to all life forms by photoautotrophs. Photoautotrophs are equipped with light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) that enable efficient capture of solar energy, particularly when ...

Recent advances in single-molecule spectroscopy studies on light-harvesting processes in oxygenic photosynthesis

Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2022
Photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) play a crucial role in concentrating the photon energy from the sun that otherwise excites a typical pigment molecule, such as chlorophyll-a, only several times a second.

From isolated light-harvesting complexes to the thylakoid membrane: a single-molecule perspective

Nanophotonics, 2018
The conversion of solar radiation to chemical energy in plants and green algae takes place in the thylakoid membrane. This amphiphilic environment hosts a complex arrangement of light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes that absorb light and transfer ...

The chlorosome: a prototype for efficient light harvesting in photosynthesis [PDF]

, 2010
Three phyla of bacteria include phototrophs that contain unique antenna systems, chlorosomes, as the principal light-harvesting apparatus. Chlorosomes are the largest known supramolecular antenna systems and contain hundreds of thousands of BChl c/d/e ...
