Energy quenching via triplet-excited state formation of glycosylated carotenoids in the photosynthetic reaction center complex of the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobaculum tepidum
{{output}}
Some carotenoids have a function to quench excitation energy of chlorophyll in photosynthetic apparatuses. This is a part of the photoprotective mechanism, non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), which prevents the inhibitory effects of high-light irradiation. In t... ...
