Chlorophototrophic organisms have a charge-separating reaction centre (RC) complex that
receives energy from a dedicated light-harvesting (LH) antenna. In the purple phototrophic …

Excitons are considered as the basic concept used by describing the spectral properties of
photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and excitation dynamics in photosynthetic light …

Great progress in the study of structure and dynamics of photosynthetic light-harvesting
pigment− protein complexes has recently resulted in detailed understanding of the light …

2 1 Introduction the most salient points are just that a molecule can exist in a variety of states
depending on how its electrons are distributed among a set of molecular orbitals, and that …

This review serves as an introduction to the variety of light-harvesting (LH) structures present
in phototrophic prokaryotes. It provides an overview of the LH complexes of purple bacteria …

Three photosynthetic complexes, light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2), light-harvesting complex
1 (LH1), and the reaction centre-light-harvesting complex 1 photounit (RC-LH1), were …

Reaction center-light harvesting 1 (RC-LH1) complexes are the fundamental units of
bacterial photosynthesis, which use solar energy to power the reduction of quinone to quinol …

Reaction centre light-harvesting 1 (RC–LH1) complexes are the essential components of
bacterial photosynthesis. The membrane-intrinsic LH1 complex absorbs light and the energy …

Rhodospirillum (Rsp.) rubrum is one of the most widely used model organisms in bacterial
photosynthesis. This purple phototroph is characterized by the presence of both …
