The photosynthetic bacterial reaction center in native and artificial envirnoments: effects on light-induced electron transfer
… we focussed on the characterization of the reaction center (RC) protein purified from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides. In particular, we discussed the effects of native and artificial environment on the light-induced electron transfer processes. The native environment …

Photovoltaic devices using photosynthetic protein complexes
… Biological photosynthetic complexes contain reaction centers with a quantum yield of >95% and a bandgap of less than l.leV allowing absorption in the 600-11 00nm visible-NIR range. Two types of photosynthetic complexes are employed to demonstrate the generality of the solid state integration …

Investigation of the quinone sites in reaction centers from Rhodobacter sphaeroides by pulsed EPR and spectral simulations
The reaction center from Rhodobacter sphaeroides is responsible for the primary process of photosynthesis where light is converted into a membrane potential. This is achieved by electron transfer from a special pair of bacteriochlorophylls to two acceptor quinones, QA and QB. Both quinone sites are …
