Photosynthetic eukaryotes exhibit very different light-harvesting proteins, but all contain
membrane-intrinsic light-harvesting complexes (Lhcs), either as additional or sole antennae …

The theoretical description of the initial steps in photosynthesis has gained increasing
importance over the past few years. This is caused by more and more structural data …

Develo** probes for sensitive H 2 O 2 detection is critical for understanding its related
physiological and pathological processes. In this study, novel carbon quantum dot-gold …

While the majority of the photochemical states and pathways related to the biological
capture of solar energy are now well understood and provide paradigms for artificial device …

The cyanobacterial water-soluble orange carotenoid binding protein (OCP) is an ideal
system for study of the effects of protein environment on photophysical properties of …

Effects of introducing a carbonyl group and its position in the conjugated system of
carotenoids were studied by means of femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy. We have …

An important component of the photosynthetic apparatus is a light-harvesting system that
captures light energy and transfers it efficiently to the reaction center. Depending on …

The prevalence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the enzyme-containing
intracellular environment could lead to the fluorescence quenching of bovine serum albumin …

Experimental and theoretical evidence is presented that supports the theory that the
intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state of peridinin is an evolved state formed via excited …

Numerous femtosecond time-resolved optical spectroscopic experiments have reported that
the lifetime of the low-lying S1 state of carbonyl-containing polyenes and carotenoids …
