  • From isolated light-harvesting complexes to the thylakoid membrane : a single-molecule perspective 
    Gruber, J. Michael; Maly, Pavel; Kruger, T.P.J. (Tjaart); Van Grondelle, Rienk (De Gruyter Open, 2018-01)
    The conversion of solar radiation to chemical energy in plants and green algae takes place in the thylakoid membrane. This amphiphilic environment hosts a complex arrangement of light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes ...
  • The future of quantum biology 
    Marais, Adriana; Adams, Betony; Ringsmuth, Andrew K.; Ferretti, Marco; Gruber, J. Michael; Hendrikx, Ruud; Schuld, Maria; Smith, Samuel L.; Sinayskiy, Ilya; Kruger, T.P.J. (Tjaart); Petruccione, Francesco; Van Grondelle, Rienk (Royal Society, 2018-11)
    Biological systems are dynamical, constantly exchanging energy and matter with the environment in order to maintain the non-equilibrium state synonymous with living. Developments in observational techniques have allowed ...
  • Phycocyanin: one complex, two states, two functions 
    Gwizdala, Michal; Kruger, T.P.J. (Tjaart); Wahadoszamen, Md.; Gruber, J. Michael; Van Grondelle, Rienk (American Chemical Society, 2018-03)
    Solar energy captured by pigments embedded in light-harvesting complexes can be transferred to neighboring pigments, dissipated, or emitted as fluorescence. Only when it reaches a reaction center is the excitation energy ...
  • The role of exciton delocalization in the major photosynthetic light-harvesting antenna of plants 
    Ramanan, Charusheela; Gruber, J. Michael; Maly, Pavel; Negretti, Marco; Novoderezhkin, Vladimir; Kruger, T.P.J. (Tjaart); Man cal, Tomas; Croce, Roberta; Van Grondelle, Rienk (Biophysical Society, 2015-03)
    In the major peripheral plant light-harvesting complex LHCII, excitation energy is transferred between chlorophylls along an energetic cascade before it is transmitted further into the photosynthetic assembly to be converted ...
  • Singlet-triplet annihilation in single LHCII complexes 
    Gruber, J. Michael; Chmeliov, Jevgenij; Kruger, T.P.J. (Tjaart); Valkunas, Leonas; Van Grondelle, Rienk (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-08)
    In light harvesting complex II (LHCII) of higher plants and green algae, carotenoids (Cars) have an important function to quench chlorophyll (Chl) triplet states and therefore avoid the production of harmful singlet ...
