Abstract
Light energy absorbed by the 576 bilin chromophores in the six rods of the phycobilisome of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis 6701 is funneled into a 1.5 x 106 dalton core. The 72 bilins of the core function as a single unit with respect to the rate-limiting processes for energy flow within these particles.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
