Book Description
The design, synthesis and study of a series of carotenoid-chlorophyll-quinone triad molecules which mimic some of the basic photochemistry and photophysics of natural photosynthesis is sought. The first members of this series have now been prepared, and have been found to mimic photosynthetic charge separation, carotenoid antenna function, and carotenoid photoprotection from singlet oxygen damage. Although the triad molecules mimic the general principle of multistep electron transfer which is found in natural photosynthesis, the details of photosynthetic electron transfer differ in the triads, in that the first electron transfer step involves electron donation from the excited state donor, followed by reduction of the resulting donor radical cation by the carotenoid. In photosynthesis, the electron is moved through several acceptors before the chlorophyll radical cation is reduced. Therefore, our recent work has concentrated on the design and synthesis of new model systems which better mimic certain aspects of natural photosynthesis.

Artificial Photosynthesis
Author: Mohammad Najafpour
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9533079665
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
Photosynthesis is one of the most important reactions on Earth, and it is a scientific field that is intrinsically interdisciplinary, with many research groups examining it. We could learn many strategies from photosynthesis and can apply these strategies in artificial photosynthesis. Artificial photosynthesis is a research field that attempts to replicate the natural process of photosynthesis. The goal of artificial photosynthesis is to use the energy of the sun to make different useful material or high-energy chemicals for energy production. This book is aimed at providing fundamental and applied aspects of artificial photosynthesis. In each section, important topics in the subject are discussed and reviewed by experts.

Photosynthetic Reaction Center
Author: Johann Deisenhofer
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 1483288404
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 593
Book Description
The availability of the photosynthetic reaction center's structure at an atomic resolution of less than three angstroms has revolutionized research. This protein is the first integral membrane protein whose structure has been determined with such precision. Each volume of the Photosynthetic Reaction Center contains original research, methods, and reviews. Together, these volumes cover our current understanding of how photosynthesis converts light energy into stored chemical energy. Volume II details the electron transfer process; it is oriented to the physical aspects of photosynthesis. It thus primarily discusses bacterial photosynthesis and model compounds. Volume II features the very complex and rapidly evolving issues associated with the theory of electron transfer in the bacterial reaction center, and explores picosecond and femtosecond spectroscopy. This volume also covers holeburning spectroscopy; primary events of bacterial photosynthesis with emphasis on the application of large, external electric fields designed to manipulate and probe mechanisms of the initial chemistry; the role of accessory carotenoid pigments; the techniques of infrared spectroscopy and magnetic resonance as applied to photosynthesis; and the interplay between natural and artificial photosynthesis.
