This book was released on 1981 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results presented demonstrate that important progress has been made towards defining the elementary processes involved in chlorophyll one-electron transfer reactions. Considerable insight was obtained into how these can be made more efficient and how energy-wasting back reactions can be minimized. An understanding of the mechanisms involved in the coupling of these reactions in more complex systems to obtain a vectorial storage of energy across an insulating barrier (i.e. a lipid bilayer) is developing. The information must ultimately prove useful in the long-range goal of developing practical means of solar energy utilization. (ERB).
