At LCLS, the researchers first illuminated their crystal samples with green photons to trigger the photosynthetic reactions in photosystem II.

This is surprising since it means that toxic oxygen molecules formed in heat - damaged chloroplasts during photosynthetic reactions during the light are likely not the major culprits that cause bleaching.

Jennifer Ogilvie, U-M professor of physics and biophysics, studied photosynthetic reaction centers in purple bacteria.

Photons excite the pigments, which triggers energy transfer in the photosynthetic reaction centers.

From there, the energy is shuttled to a photosynthetic reaction center protein that starts to channel energy from light through the photosynthetic process.

«Having a better understanding of where the energy levels are will be very helpful for establishing the structure - function relationships of these photosynthetic reaction centers.»

Meyer, a chemist at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and director of its Energy Frontier Research Center in Solar Fuels, noticed that two separate groups of researchers working on two separate parts of the photosynthetic reaction happened to be using the same class of catalyst — ones with an atom of the metal ruthenium surrounded by organic molecules.

One year later, Hartmut Michel was awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize in Chemistry «for the determination of the three - dimensional structure of a photosynthetic reaction centre», together with Johann Deisenhofer and Robert Huber.
