From Steady-State to Ultrafast: Resonance Raman Approaches for Biological Samples
Juan J. Romero, Bruno Robert, Manuel J. Llansola-Portoles
Vibrational spectroscopy reports on molecular structure with chemical-bond specificity, but in biological systems the vibrational signals of a target chromophore are typically buri…

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…
