How energy funnels from the phycoerythrin antenna complex to photosystem I and photosystem II in cryptophyte Rhodomonas CS24 cells
Article Abstract:
Analyses of steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements are used to investigate energy migration dynamics in intact cells of the photosynthetic cryptophyte Rhodomonas CS24. Equal distribution of excitation energy is shown from phycoerythrin 545 (PE545) to both photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem (PSII), whose trap times correspond well to those obtained from experiments on isolated photosystems.

Red spectral forms of chlorophylls in green plant PSI- a site selective and high-pressure spectroscopy study
Article Abstract:
Photosystem I (PSI) complexes, possess absorption and emission bands at lower energy than those of the reaction center, is one of its special spectroscopic characteristics. The pigment dimers are responsible for the red states and these red excited states can be interpreted as excimer states.
