EPR Investigation of Photoinduced Radical Pair Formation and Decay to a Triplet State in a Carotene−Porphyrin−Fullerene Triad
Donatella Carbonera,Marilena Di Valentin,Carlo Corvaja,Giancarlo Agostini,Giovanni Giacometti,Paul A. Liddell,Darius Kuciauskas,Ana L. Moore,Thomas A. Moore,Devens Gust +9 more
TL;DR: 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-resolved EPR sp...
Journal ArticleDOI
Zeaxanthin Protects Plant Photosynthesis by Modulating Chlorophyll Triplet Yield in Specific Light-harvesting Antenna Subunits
Luca Dall'Osto,Nancy E. Holt,Shanti Kaligotla,Marcel Fuciman,Stefano Cazzaniga,Donatella Carbonera,Harry A. Frank,Jean Alric,Roberto Bassi,Roberto Bassi +9 more
TL;DR: High light-induced binding of zeaxanthin to specific proteins plays a major role in enhancing photoprotection by modulating the yield of potentially dangerous chlorophyll-excited states in vivo and preventing the production of singlet oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permeability of inner mitochondrial membrane and oxidative stress.
TL;DR: It is proposed that a variety of processes causing an increased permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane merge into some ultimate common steps involving the action of oxygen radicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the axial ligands on the spectral properties of P700 of photosystem I: a study of site-directed mutants.
Ludwig Krabben,Eberhard Schlodder,Rafael Jordan,Donatella Carbonera,Giovanni Giacometti,Hyeonmoo Lee,and Andrew N. Webber,Wolfgang Lubitz +7 more
TL;DR: The data provide convincing evidence that the unpaired electron in the cation radical and the triplet state of P700 are mainly localized on the Chl a of the dimer which is axially coordinated by His(B656).
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave and optical spectroscopy of carotenoid triplets in light-harvesting complex LHC II of spinach by absorbance-detected magnetic resonance
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the tripletz-axis (which corresponds roughly to the polyenal axis) of lutein and neoxanthin makes an angle of 47° and 38° with theQ n − y transition moment of their adjacent Chla molecules, for the Chls absorbing at 670 and 677 nm, respectively.
