Abstract

We shall focus on the interrelationship between the structure, interactions and dynamics in photosynthetic bacteria. The relative simplicity of the functional units, antennas and reaction centers , renders these bacteria to play the role of the “hydrogen atom of photosynthesis”, providing basic systems for the critical scrutiny of novel concepts and theories. The structural, spectroscopic and dynamic data which have been accumulated recently provide a wealth of information on the two basic functional units: (A) Antennas (Al) Structure and organization (A2) Electronic spectroscopy (A3) Electronic energy transfer (EET) (B) Reaction Centers (Bl) Interrelationship between structure and dynamics (B2) Spectroscopic methods (B3) Mechanisms of electron transfer (ET) KeywordsElectron TransferElectronic ExcitationVibrational RelaxationHole BurningOptically Detect Magnetic ResonanceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
