Measurement of electron and energy transfer rates in physical stages of photosynthesis with subpicosecond time resolution
The kinetics of the transfer of excitation energy and charge in the molecular complexes of photosynthetic reaction centers is measured with a resolution of better than 10~12 sec for the first time ever. The measurements were made with an apparatus incorporating a dye laser with pulses shorter than 10"12 sec. on the basis of the data obtained. The distance between donor and acceptor sites is estimated.
