Picosecond Time-Resolved, Polarized Fluorescence Decay of Phycobilisomes and Constituent Biliproteins Isolated from Mastigocladus larninosus

FÖRSTER TRANSFER CALCULATIONS BASED ON CRYSTAL STRUCTURE DATA FROM Agmenellum quadruplicatum C‐PHYCOCYANIN

“…In a study of the (ap),-trimer C-PC from M . laminosus by Schneider et al (1985a) three pairs of monochromatic (? 8 nm) excitation and emission wavelengths were used with the repetitive streak camera technique.…”

Fluorescence Lifetimes in Photosynthetic Systems

“…The spectral differences between these types of chromophores have been shown most clearly from the time-gated (Hanzlik ei al., 1985) and the component-resolved (Holzwarth, 1985b) fluorescence spectra of phycocyanin 612 and C-phycocyanin, respectively. Alternatively, the internal transfer has been demonstrated also by a decay of the fluorescence anisotropy on a time-scale of tens of picoseconds (Hefferle et al, 1983a(Hefferle et al, , 1984aSchneider et al, 1985a). This fast depolarization is due to a non-parallel orientation in the dipolemoments of the 's'-and 'f'-chromophores which has also been inferred from pico-second transient absorption measurements (Gillbro et al, 1983(Gillbro et al, , 1985bWendler etal., 1984).…”

“…, 1985). The anisotropy decay in the picosecond time-range has been related to the transfer between differently oriented groups of chromophores Gillbro et al, 1983Gillbro et al, , 1985aSchneider et al, 1985a;Hefferle et al, 1983b). A general result from all these studies is that the rod-core transfer occurs in several tens of ps and the depolarization due to energy transfer is generally faster than the isotropic decay.…”
