Photosystem I (PSI) is one of the two main pigment-protein complexes where the primary steps of oxygenic photosynthesis take place. This review describes low-temperature frequency-domain experiments (absorption, emission, circular dichroism, resonant and non-resonant hole-burned spectra) and modeling efforts reported for PSI in recent years. In particular ...

Carbon dots have garnered significant attention owing to their versatile and highly tunable optical properties; however, the origins and the underlying mechanism remains a subject of debate especially for dual fluorescent systems. Here, we have prepared carbon dots from glutathione and formamide precursors via a one-pot solvothermal synthesis. Steady stat ...
