Mechanisms of photochemical energy conversion by chlorophyll. Progress report, April 1, 1980-March 30, 1981
Year: 1981
Type: report
Abstract: The results presented demonstrate that important progress has been made towards defining the elementary processes involved in chlorophyll one-electron transfer reactions. Considerable insight was obtained into how these can be made more efficient and how energy-wasting back reactions can be minimized. An understanding of the mechanisms involved in the coupling of these reactions in more complex systems to obtain a vectorial storage of energy across an insulating barrier (i.e. a lipid bilayer) is developing. The information must ultimately prove useful in the long-range goal of developing practical means of solar energy utilization. (ERB)
