Figure 1 Absorption spectra of native (top) and reconstituted (bottom) CP29. The description of the spectra in terms of absorption of individual Chls is presented. All the spectra of Chl a and Chl b have been multiplied by 2. Biophysical Journal 2003 84, 2508-2516DOI: (10.1016/S0006-3495(03)75056-5) Copyright © 2003 The Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions
Figure 2 Experimental transient absorption kinetics at selected detection wavelengths for nCP29 complex. (left) Excitation at 640nm; (right) excitation at 653nm. Biophysical Journal 2003 84, 2508-2516DOI: (10.1016/S0006-3495(03)75056-5) Copyright © 2003 The Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions
Figure 3 Lifetime density maps of native CP29 complex excited at 640nm (top) and 653nm (bottom). Three analyses are shown: (A-A′) using all the collected data and fitting them in exponential terms; (B-B′) using the data collected after 80 fs only; and (C–C′) analyzing all the data, by applying a deconvolution procedure taking into account a damped oscillation term (see text for details).
