Oxygenic photosynthesis, the process that converts light energy into chemical energy, is
traditionally associated with the absorption of visible light by chlorophyll molecules …

This review focuses on the light-harvesting properties of photosystem I (PSI) and its LHCI
outer antenna. LHCI consists of different chlorophyll a/b binding proteins called Lhca's …

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

The primary processes in all photosynthetic systems involve the absorption of energy from
(sun) light by chromophores in a light harvesting antenna, and the subsequent transfer of …

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 …

Abstract Photosystem I (PS-I) contains a small fraction of chlorophylls (Chls) that absorb at
wavelengths longer than the primary electron donor P700. The total number of these long …

The energy transfer and charge separation kinetics in core Photosystem I (PSI) particles of
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been studied using ultrafast transient absorption in the …

The structure of photosystem I from the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus
elongatus has been recently resolved by x-ray crystallography to 2.5-Å resolution. Besides …

Photosystem I of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus contains two spectral pools
of chlorophylls called C-708 and C-719 that absorb at longer wavelengths than the primary …

We model the energy transfer and trapping kinetics in PSI. Rather than simply applying
Förster theory, we develop a new approach to self-consistently describe energy transfer in a …
