The light-induced spin and structure changes upon excitation of the singlet metal-to-ligand
charge transfer (1MLCT) state of Fe (II)-polypyridine complexes are investigated in detail in …

A variety of organisms have evolved mechanisms to detect and respond to light, in which the
response is mediated by protein structural changes after photon absorption. The initial step …

Organisms have evolved a wide variety of mechanisms to utilize and respond to light. In
many cases, the biological response is mediated by structural changes that follow photon …
