The origin of carotenoid triplets in purple photosynthetic bacteria
Juan J. Romero, Andrew Gall, Viola D'mello +4
Photosynthetic antenna proteins harvest light energy while at the same time protecting the organism against photodamage. Carotenoid molecules are essential in the latter process, e…

Reassessing carotenoid photophysics: shedding light on dark states
Roxanne Bercy, Viola Dmello, Andrew Gall +5
Carotenoid molecules are critical in photosynthesis, performing functions at the heart of both light-harvesting and photoprotection. As both these processes involve excitation ener…

Vibronic Landscape of Excitons in Photosynthetic Antenna
Manuel J. Llansola-Portoles, James Sturgis, Andrew Gall +3
Light-harvesting and excitation energy transfer in photosynthesis generally involve chlorophyll-molecules, maintained by their host proteins at short distances from each other, thi…
