Nitrogenase is the only enzyme capable of reducing N2 to NH3. This challenging reaction requires the coordinated transfer of multiple electrons from the reductase, Fe-protein, to the …
The photophysical and photochemical reactions, after light absorption by a photosynthetic pigment–protein complex, are among the fastest events in biology, taking place on …
Excitons are considered as the basic concept used by describing the spectral properties of photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and excitation dynamics in photosynthetic light …

Key processes in photosynthesis are the absorption of solar energy by antenna pigments and the efficient transfer of excitation energy to photochemical reaction centers, where the …
T Renger, RA Marcus - The Journal of chemical physics, 2002 - pubs.aip.org
A theory for calculating time–and frequency–domain optical spectra of pigment–protein complexes is presented using a density matrix approach. Non-Markovian effects in the …

▪ Abstract Recent progress in two-dimensional and three-dimensional electron and X-ray crystallography of Photosystem II (PSII) core complexes has led to major advances in the …
AR Holzwarth, MG Müller, M Reus… - Proceedings of the …, 2006 - National Acad Sciences
The mechanism and kinetics of electron transfer in isolated D1/D2-cytb559 photosystem (PS) II reaction centers (RCs) and in intact PSII cores have been studied by femtosecond …
Abstract Photosystems II and I (PSII, PSI) are the reaction centre-containing complexes driving the light reactions of photosynthesis; PSII performs light-driven water oxidation and …
