Photosynthesis
provides almost all
the energy for life
on Earth. Photosynthetic Light Harvesting describes the strategy
employed
by Nature to capture sunlight over a wide spectral and spatial
cross-section
using antenna pigments-proteins (e.g. LH2, PSI) and very efficiently
funnel
this energy to a photochemical trap (the reaction center, RC).
