Overview

This work provides an overview of the various techniques that have proved to be of importance in studying the mechanism of both oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis. Each chapter discusses the basic concepts of a technique, practical applications and some of the scientific results. The first section concerns optical techniques, the second magnetic resonance, whereas the third is mainly devoted to various techniques that provide information on the structure of the photosynthetic apparatus, such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption and electron microscopy. The book should be useful for graduate students and researchers both in photosynthesis as well as in physics, (bio)chemistry and biology.
