Description of the research topic:
Photosynthetic organisms have elaborated mechanisms for regulating light
harvesting at the molecular level, balancing between maximizing the
efficiency of energy capture and avoiding potentially harmful excess
irradiation. This project aims to investigate the effects of the molecular
surrounding and intermolecular interactions on the photophysical properties
of photosynthetic light-harvesting protein complexes in reconstituted
membrane models. Photosynthetic complexes will be isolated from plant
leaves and inserted into vesicles of plant thylakoid lipids. The effects of
different factors that are known to play role in the regulation of light
harvesting *in vivo* – pH, carotenoids and other excitation quenchers –
will be tested in these model membrane models by biophysical methods, such as time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy.
