Excitation Energy Transfer Dynamics from Carotenoid to Bacteriochlorophyll <i>a</i> in the LH2 Complex of <i>Rhodobacter sphaeroides</i>: Insights from Reconstitution Experiments with Carotenoids and B800 Bacteriochlorophyll <i>a</i>

Excitation Energy Transfer Dynamics from Carotenoid to Bacteriochlorophyll <i>a</i> in the LH2 Complex of <i>Rhodobacter sphaeroides</i>: Insights from Reconstitution Experiments with Carotenoids and B800 Bacteriochlorophyll <i>a</i>

Carotenoids are crucial for photosynthesis, playing key roles in light harvesting and photoprotection. In this study, spheroidene and bacteriochlorophyll <i>a</i> (Bchl <i>a</i>) were reconstituted into the chromatophores of the carotenoidless mutant <i>Rhodobacter spha...
