TL;DR: The principles learned from studies of various natural antenna complexes are described and how to elucidate strategies for designing light-harvesting systems are suggested to be used for solar fuel production, to direct and regulate excitation energy flow using molecular organizations that facilitate feedback and control, or to transfer excitons over long distances.

TL;DR: The methodology for global and target analysis of time-resolved spectra is reviewed and the combination of a model for the kinetics and for the spectra of the components results in a more powerful spectrotemporal model.

TL;DR: It is experimentally demonstrated that a change in conformation of LHCII occurs in vivo, which opens a channel for energy dissipation by transfer to a bound carotenoid, suggesting that this is the principal mechanism of photoprotection.

TL;DR: The description of energy transfer, in particular multichromophoric antenna structures, is shown to vary depending on the spatial and energetic landscape, which dictates the relative coupling strength between constituent pigment molecules.
