Impact of molecular flexibility on the site energy shift of chlorophylls in Photosystem II

Daniele Narzi, Leonardo Guidoni, Marco Manzoli

Light harvesting from the Sun by antenna complexes surrounding the reaction center of Photosystem II represents the first step of the natural oxygenic photosynthesis performed by plants, algae and cyanobacteria. The excitation energy derived from the sunli ...

Classical Force Fields Tailored for QM Applications: Is It Really a Feasible Strategy?

Oliviero Andreussi

Classical molecular dynamics is more and more often coupled to quantum mechanical based techniques as a statistical tool to sample configurations of molecular systems embedded in complex environments. Nonetheless, the classical potentials describing the mo ...

Carbon nanotubes quench singlet oxygen generated by photosynthetic reaction centers

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath, Klara Hernadi, Krisztina Nagy

Photosensitizers may convert molecular oxygen into reactive oxygen species (ROS) including, e.g., singlet oxygen (O-1(2)), superoxide anion (O-2(-center dot)), and hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot), chemicals with extremely high cyto- and potential gen ...

Artificial Photosynthesis at Soft Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Fernando Cortes Salazar, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Peiyu Ge, Haiqiang Deng, Imren Hatay, Patrick Voyame, Zahra Nazemi

The concept of artificial photosynthesis at a polarised liquid membrane is presented. It includes two photosystems, one at each interface for the hydrogen and oxygen evolution respectively. Both reactions involve proton coupled electron transfer reactions, ...
