De novo design of proteins housing excitonically coupled chlorophyll special pairs Open
Natural photosystems couple light harvesting to charge separation using a ‘special pair’ of chlorophyll molecules that accepts excitation energy from the antenna and initiates an electron-transfer cascade. To investigate the photophysics o…

Multiple Quantum-Coherent Energy Transfer Pathways in Photosynthesis: Electronic-Vibrational Mixing within Photosystem II CP43/CP47 Antenna Open
Photosynthesis, the biological process whereby the energy of the Sun is stored into biochemical energy, starts with energy absorption by light-harvesting complexes. These pigment-protein complexes are able to absorb and transfer energy wit…

Multiscale time-resolved fluorescence study of a glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor combined with quantum chemistry calculations Open
A study of the first fluorescent potent inhibitor of glycogen phosphorylase showcases how emission is controlled by two independent rotations of two aromatic moieties.
