Can photosynthesis provide a `biological blueprint' for the design of novel solar cells?

The primary photochemical reactions in purple-bacterial photosynthesis take place in discrete, membrane-bound pigment–protein complexes called reaction centres and light-harvesting complexes. The detailed information on their structure and function now available is being used to aid the design and c...

Zusammenfassung:	The primary photochemical reactions in purple-bacterial photosynthesis take place in discrete, membrane-bound pigment–protein complexes called reaction centres and light-harvesting complexes. The detailed information on their structure and function now available is being used to aid the design and construction of novel solar-energy converters.
