The phycobilisome (PBS) is an extra-membrane supramolecular complex composed of
many chromophore (bilin)-binding proteins (phycobiliproteins) and linker proteins, which …

Eukaryotic photosynthesis originated in the course of evolution as a result of the uptake of
some unstored cyanobacterium and its transformation to chloroplasts by an ancestral …

The phycobilisome is an oligomeric chromoprotein complex that serves as the principal mid-
visible light-harvesting system in cyanobacteria. Here we report the observation of excitation …

X-ray crystal structures of the isolated phycobiliprotein components of the phycobilisome
have provided high resolution details to the description of this light harvesting complex at …

The phototrophic cyanobacterium Halomicronema hongdechloris shows far-red light-
induced accumulation of chlorophyll (Chl) f, but the involvement of the pigment in …

Cyanobacteria possess several photoprotective mechanisms involving relatively rapid (<
few minutes) changes in the photosynthetic apparatus to dynamically adjust the amount of …

Red algae represent an evolutionarily important group that gave rise to the whole red clade
of photosynthetic organisms. They contain a unique combination of light-harvesting systems …

The major light harvesting complex in cyanobacteria and red algae is the phycobilisome
(PBS), comprised of hundreds of seemingly similar chromophores, which are protein bound …

The transport properties of disordered systems are known to depend critically on
dimensionality. We study the diffusion coefficient of a quantum particle confined to a lattice …

The present work describes results obtained on hybrid systems formed in aqueous buffer
solution by self-assembly of different CdSe quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by a ZnS shell …
