Picosecond fluorometry in primary events of photosynthesis
Abstract:
Many laboratories in different countries are involved in the study of the mechanism of conversion of light energy into chemical energy, namely photosynthesis. As is evident from the literature, the initial phases of photosynthesis, which determine the character of this process, proceed at time intervals of 10(-8) and 10(-13) s. They are associated with absorption of light quanta and energy transfer from the molecules of light-harvesting antenna (LHA) chlorophyll and accesory pigments to the reaction centers (RC), where the key reaction of photosynthesis occurs: photo-induced charge separation. Evidently it is of importance to study experimentally the process that occurs within the 10(-8) -10(-13)s time domain.

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
