Photosynthesis is regulated by a dynamic interplay between proteins, enzymes, pigments,
lipids, and cofactors that takes place on a large spatio-temporal scale. Molecular dynamics …

The photosynthetic apparatus is a highly modular assembly of large pigment-binding
proteins. Complexes called antennae can capture the sunlight and direct it from the …

The photosynthetic apparatus of higher plants can dissipate excess excitation energy during
high light exposure, by deactivating excited chlorophylls through a mechanism called …

The chromophores of rhodopsins (Rh) and light-harvesting (LH) complexes still represent a
major challenge for a quantum chemical description due to their size and complex electronic …

Photosynthetic processes are driven by sunlight. Too little of it and the photosynthetic
machinery cannot produce the reductive power to drive the anabolic pathways. Too much …

In response to varying light conditions, light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) switch from a light-
harvesting state to a quenched state to protect the photosynthetic organism from excessive …

Light harvesting as the first step in photosynthesis is of prime importance for life on earth. For
a theoretical description of photochemical processes during light harvesting, spectral …

Diatoms generate a large portion of the oxygen produced on earth due to their exceptional
light-harvesting properties involving fucoxanthin and chlorophyll-binding proteins (FCP). At …

In this study, the site energy fluctuations, energy transfer dynamics, and some spectroscopic
properties of the minor light-harvesting complex CP24 in a membrane environment were …

Abiotic stress is triggered by unfavorable environments such as drought, severe heat, heavy
metals, soil saturation, high-intensity light, and high salinity. These, in turn greatly affect …
