Spectroscopic properties of pigment-protein complexes from photosynthetic purple bacteria in relation to their structure and function

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: FEMS Symposium ((FEMSS))

Abstract

In photosynthesis the light-energy, necessary to drive the electrochemical processes occurring in the reaction center, is collected by a light-harvesting antenna. Many (bacterio)chlorophyll-protein complexes cooperate in the absorption of the energy from the sun and the transport of the excitation energy to the reaction center.
