Abstract

Light-driven redox processes currently deserve much attention, not only because they are basic processes in photobiology but also because they have many technological applications, i.e. the production of several energy-rich compounds. Amongst others, flavins have been used as efficient photosensitizers in those model systems that use light energy to drive redox reactions of biological macromolecules.
