Figure 3

Flash-induced absorbance changes due to carotenoid triplet formation in LHCII recombinant proteins reconstituted with lutein (panels A and B) or violaxanthin (panels C and D). Panels A and C show the complete difference spectra recorded at different time points (2.5 ns, 52.5 ns and 5 μs). Panels B and D show absorbance changes at 505 nm (3Car*) and 440–460 nm (*Chl). Data have been normalized on the amount of excited chlorophyll measured at 440 – 460 nm, and fitted to a biphasic model (solid symbols in panels B and D).
