Seeing into the Abyss: Critical Points and Paths on the S1 Potential Energy Surface of Stilbenes and beta-Carotene

Ernsting, Nikolaus, Prof. Ph. D. (Physical and Theoretical Chemistry II)

Duration of Project: 02/2016 - 07/2018

Stilbene, the paradigm for photoisomerisation around a double bond, is not understood despite decades of research. (i) A phantom state at 90 deg C=C twist angle is thought to be nonexistent because of fast internal conversion. However, we could stabi ...

CRC 1078/1: Structural Basis of Proton Release in Water Oxidation by Photosystem II (SP A05)

Zouni, Athina, (Experimental Biophysics)

Duration of Project: 01/2013 - 03/2021

In oxygenic photosynthesis, water is oxidized and dioxygen is formed at the Mn4Ca complex of photosystem II (PSII), a 750 kDa protein-cofactor complex embedded in the thylakoid membrane of plants and cyanobacteria. Reliable structural models of PSII ...
