The Biophysics of Photosynthesis

The Biophysics of Photosynthesis edited by John Golbeck, Art van der Est.

The volume is intended as an introduction to the physical principles governing the main processes that occur in photosynthesis, with emphasis on the light reactions and electron transport chain. A unique feature of the photosynthetic apparatus is the fact that the molecular structures are known in d...
