Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of low-energy chlorophylls in the PSI-LHCI supercomplex from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. A site-selective fluorescence study

Krzysztof Gibasiewicz, +5 more
- 10 Nov 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that the low-energy pool of chlorophylls in the PSI-LHCI complex from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, containing five to six pigments, is significantly blue-shifted (A(max) at 700 nm at 4 K) compared to that in thePSI core preparations from several species of cyanobacteria and in PSI's particles from higher plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different crystal morphologies lead to slightly different conformations of light-harvesting complex II as monitored by variations of the intrinsic fluorescence lifetime

Bart van Oort, +8 more
- 30 Jun 2011 - 
TL;DR: Compared the fluorescence of various types of crystals, differing in morphology and age, which indicates that fluorescence is not quenched by random impurities and packing defects, but that LHCII adopts a particular structure in each crystal type, that leads to fluorescence quenching.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spectroscopic characterization of B820 subunits from light-harvesting complex I of Rhodospirillum rubrum and Rhodobacter sphaeroides prepared with the detergent n-octyl-rac-2,3-dipropylsulfoxide

Ronald W. Visschers, +6 more
- 19 Jun 1992 - 
TL;DR: Results imply that the B820 subunit structure created by detergent treatment is inherent to the structure of the functional LH1 antenna both for Rs. rubrum and Rb.
Journal ArticleDOI

The origin of the unusual Qy red shift in LH1-RC complexes from purple bacteria Thermochromatium tepidum as revealed by Stark absorption spectroscopy.

Fei Ma, +3 more
- 01 Dec 2015 - 
TL;DR: A combined effect of exciton-charge transfer states mixing, and inhomogeneous narrowing of the BChl a site energy is proposed to be the origin of the 915 nm absorption of native LH1-RC of photosynthetic purple bacteria Thermochromatium tepidum LH1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of Photon Absorption on the Electronic Properties of p-Coumaric Acid Derivatives of the Photoactive Yellow Protein Chromophore

Lavanya Premvardhan, +5 more
- 26 Mar 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the electrostatic properties of thiomethyl p-coumaric acid (TMpCA) and its sterically hindered derivative, THI7HC, were determined at 77 K using Stark spectroscopy, to better understand the origin of the photoinduced charge motion observed in these chromophores in the native photoactive yellow protein (PYP) environment.
