This book introduces the basic physical, chemical, and biological principles underlying the first steps in photosynthesis: light absorption, excitation energy transfer, and charge separation. In Part 1, we introduce pigments and their spectroscopic/ redox properties. In Part 2, pigment-proteins as they occur in various natural systems (plants, algae, photosynthetic bacteria) are described, including the regulation of light harvesting. Part 3 deals with the physics underlying light harvesting: energy transfer and electron transport. Part 4 introduces basic and advanced spectroscopic methods, including data analysis. In Part 5, we discuss artificial and natural photosynthetic systems, how they are assembled, and what the energy transfer properties are.

Abstract

This book introduces the basic physical, chemical, and biological principles underlying the first steps in photosynthesis: light absorption, excitation energy transfer, and charge separation. In Part 1, we introduce pigments and their spectroscopic/ redox properties. In Part 2, pigment-proteins as they occur in various natural systems (plants, algae, photosynthetic bacteria) are described, including the regulation of light harvesting. Part 3 deals with the physics underlying light harvesting: energy transfer and electron transport. Part 4 introduces basic and advanced spectroscopic methods, including data analysis. In Part 5, we discuss artificial and natural photosynthetic systems, how they are assembled, and what the energy transfer properties are.
