Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the special pair of photosystem II in a chlorophyll d-dominated cyanobacterium
Tatsuya Tomo,Tatsunori Okubo,Seiji Akimoto,Seiji Akimoto,Makio Yokono,Hideaki Miyashita,Tohru Tsuchiya,Takumi Noguchi,Mamoru Mimuro +8 more
TL;DR: The findings lend support to the idea that changes in photosynthetic pigments combine with a modification of the redox potentials of electron transfer components to give rise to an energetic adjustment of the total reaction system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A megacomplex composed of both photosystem reaction centres in higher plants.
TL;DR: It is shown that about half of PSIIs are physically connected to PSIs in Arabidopsis thaliana, indicating that quenching of excess energy by PSI might be one of the physiological functions ofPSI-PSII complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excitation energy transfer in carotenoid-chlorophyll protein complexes probed by femtosecond fluorescence decays
Seiji Akimoto,Sinichi Takaichi,Takehiko Ogata,Yoshinobu Nishimura,Iwao Yamazaki,Mamoru Mimuro +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an energy transfer pathway in a carotenoid-chlorophyll a protein complex of dinoflagellates was studied by the femtosecond up-conversion method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excitation relaxation of zinc and free-base porphyrin probed by femtosecond fluorescence spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the rise and decay times of zinc porphyrin (ZnP) and free-base porphrin (H2P) using a fluorescence up-conversion method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation of light-harvesting systems of Arthrospira platensis to light conditions, probed by time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy ☆
TL;DR: Differences in light-harvesting and energy-transfer processes under different cultivation-light conditions are discussed and existence of quencher was suggested in PSI of the blue-light grown cells.
