Bio-inspired building blocks for all-organic metamaterials from visible to near-infrared
Nanophotonics, 2023 Light-harvesting complexes in natural photosynthetic systems, such as those in purple bacteria, consist of photo-reactive chromophores embedded in densely packed “antenna” systems organized in well-defined nanostructures.

REACTIVITY OF CHLOROPHYLL a/b-PROTEINS AND MICELLAR TRITON X-100 COMPLEXES OF CHLOROPHYLLS a OR b WITH BOROHYDRIDE [PDF]
, 1989 The reaction of several plant chlorophyll-protein complexes with NaBH4 has been studied by absorption spectroscopy. In all the complexes studied, chlorophyll b is more reactive than Chi a, due to preferential reaction of its formyl substituent at C-7 ...

Role of Plastid Protein Phosphatase TAP38 in LHCII Dephosphorylation and Thylakoid Electron Flow [PDF]
, 2010 Short-term changes in illumination elicit alterations in thylakoid protein phosphorylation and reorganization of the photosynthetic machinery. Phosphorylation of LHCII, the light-harvesting complex of photosystem II, facilitates its relocation to ...

The pigment-protein network of a diatom photosystem II–light-harvesting antenna supercomplex
Science, 2019 A light-harvesting array in diatoms Photosynthetic organisms use huge arrays of pigments to draw light energy into the core of photosystem II. The arrangement of these pigments influences how much energy reaches the reaction center. Pi et al.

Carotenoid-dependent singlet oxygen photogeneration in light-harvesting complex 2 of Ectothiorhodospira haloalkaliphila leads to the formation of organic hydroperoxides and damage to both pigments and protein matrix [PDF]
PeerJEarlier, it was suggested that carotenoids in light-harvesting complexes 2 (LH2) can generate singlet oxygen, further oxidizing bacteriochlorophyll to 3-acetyl-chlorophyll.

Light quality, oxygenic photosynthesis and more
Photosynthetica, 2022 Oxygenic photosynthesis takes place in thylakoid membranes (TM) of cyanobacteria, algae, and higher plants. It begins with light absorption by pigments in large (modular) assemblies of pigment-binding proteins, which then transfer excitation energy to ...
