Abstract:Photosynthesis is the process responsible for nearly all life on Earth. It has been the subject of many studies aimed to better understand this process and develop novel approaches to harvesting light energy. The first, light-induced steps of photosynthesis include light harvesting, energy transfer and charge transfer; they occur in trans-membrane pigment-protein complexes. These primary processes of photosynthesis are particularly well-suited to be explored by means of optical spectroscopy. Of particular inte… Show more
