Role of electron-transfer quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence by carotenoids in non-photochemical quenching of green plants.
NPQ (non-photochemical quenching) is a fundamental photosynthetic mechanism by which plants protect themselves against excess excitation energy and the resulting photodamage. A discussed molecular mechanism of the so-called feedback de-excitation component (qE) of NPQ involves the formation of a quenching complex. Recently, we have studied the influence of formation of a zeaxanthin-chlorophyll ...
متن کاملStrategies to enhance the excitation energy-transfer efficiency in a light-harvesting system using the intra-molecular charge transfer character of carotenoids.
Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid that is mainly found in light-harvesting complexes from brown algae and diatoms. Due to the presence of a carbonyl group attached to polyene chains in polar environments, excitation produces an excited intra-molecular charge transfer. This intra-molecular charge transfer state plays a key role in the highly efficient (∼95%) energy-transfer from fucoxanthin to chlorop...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of Individual Light-Harvesting Complexes
This text gives a short introduction to the spectroscopy of individual light-harvesting complexes. Spectroscopy is a technique with which it is possible to gain information over the transfer of light into an electrochemical potential by photosynthetic organisms. A general introduction is followed by a discussion of a recent article on the lightharvesting complex 2 of Rhodopseudomonas Acidophila...
متن کاملDirect observation of multistep energy transfer in LHCII with fifth-order 3D electronic spectroscopy
During photosynthesis, sunlight is efficiently captured by light-harvesting complexes, and the excitation energy is then funneled towards the reaction centre. These photosynthetic excitation energy transfer (EET) pathways are complex and proceed in a multistep fashion. Ultrafast two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) is an important tool to study EET processes in photosynthetic complexe...
متن کاملAtomistic study of energy funneling in the light-harvesting complex of green sulfur bacteria.
Phototrophic organisms such as plants, photosynthetic bacteria, and algae use microscopic complexes of pigment molecules to absorb sunlight. Within the light-harvesting complexes, which frequently have several functional and structural subunits, the energy is transferred in the form of molecular excitations with very high efficiency. Green sulfur bacteria are considered to be among the most eff...
