Abstract Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR) is a double resonance technique
which combines optical measurements (fluorescence, phosphorescence, absorption) with …

Since the crystal structure of the major light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) of green plants
was obtained by Kühlbrandt, Wang and Fujiyoshi (Nature 199 4, 367, 614− 621), this …

Recombinant light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) proteins with modified carotenoid
composition have been obtained byin vitro reconstitution of the Lhcb1 protein …

In this work the photoprotective role of all xanthophylls in LHCII, Lhcb4, and Lhcb5 is
investigated by laser-induced Triplet-minus-Singlet (TmS) spectroscopy. The comparison of …

Plants are particularly prone to photo-oxidative damage caused by excess light.
Photoprotection is essential for photosynthesis to proceed in oxygenic environments either …

The photochemistry of a molecular triad consisting of a porphyrin (P) covalently linked to a
carotenoid polyene (C) and a fullerene derivative (C60) has been studied at 20 K by time …

Photosynthetic organisms harvest light for energy. Some eukaryotic algae have specialized
in harvesting far-red light by tuning chlorophyll a absorption through a mechanism still to be …

A spectral and functional assignment of the xanthophylls in monomeric and trimeric light-
harvesting complex II of green plants has been obtained using HPLC analysis of the …

Carotenes and their oxygenated derivatives, xanthophylls, are structural elements of the
photosynthetic apparatus and contribute to increasing both the light-harvesting and …

Electron spin resonance spectroscopy and liquid chromatography have been used to detect
radical formation and fragmentation of polypeptides during photoinhibition of purified major …
