Abstract

The process of photosynthesis is initiated by the capture of sunlight by networks of molecules, often chlorophylls. The excitation energy is subsequently funneled to a reaction center, where it is converted to a charge separated state. By studying excitation energy transfer in photosynthetic light harvesting complexes, researchers have discovered many important details about the mechanism of energy transfer. In this chapter, we introduce photosynthetic light harvesting as an example of photobiology.
