Energy transfer and fluorescence quenching in the light harvesting complexes of photosystem II from higher plants

Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) is the process by which plants exposed to high light conditions dissipate the potentially harmful excess energy as heat. It is thought to involve conformational changes in the light-harvesting complexes of photosystem II (LHCII). The work reported here involves an i...
