Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme activation and catalysis: characterisation of the vibrational modes of substrate and product in protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase
Olga A. Sytina,Maxime T. A. Alexandre,Derren J. Heyes,C. Neil Hunter,Bruno Robert,Rienk van Grondelle,Marie Louise Groot +6 more
TL;DR: The vibrational frequencies of the POR-bound and unbound substrate, and product are investigated to provide a detailed assignment of the spectral changes in the 1800-1250 cm(-1) region associated with the catalytic conversion of PChlide:NADPH:TyrOH into Chlide :NADP(+):TyrO(-).
Book ChapterDOI
Modeling Light Harvesting and Primary Charge Separation in Photosystem I and Photosystem II
Journal ArticleDOI
Limits on Natural Photosynthesis.
TL;DR: By simple thermodynamic arguments it is explained that λ ≈ 900 nm provides a natural limit on artificial photosynthesis, and the same limit holds for a two-tandem Si solar cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separating annihilation and excitation energy transfer dynamics in light harvesting systems.
Mikas Vengris,Delmar S. Larsen,Leonas Valkunas,Gerdenis Kodis,Christian Herrero,Devens Gust,Thomas A. Moore,Ana L. Moore,Rienk van Grondelle +8 more
TL;DR: The primary energy transfer and annihilation dynamics in two model light-harvesting systems were explored and it was demonstrated to occur with approximately the same rate in both systems, regardless of the excitation status of the acceptor pigments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Fast Protein Liquid (Size Exclusion) Chromatography for the Fractionation of Crystallins and the Study of β-Crystallin Aggregation
TL;DR: The separation of bovine crystallins on two types of fast protein liquid chromatography® (Pharmacia) size exclusion columns, Superose-6 (fractionation range 5-5.103 kDa) and Superdex-75 (fract. range 3-70 kDa), and on a combination of these was studied in this paper.
