摘要: Carotenoids function in photosynthesis as quenchers of chlorophyll triplet states to prevent their harmful reaction with oxygen. Current research has mainly focused on detection and identification, the determination kinetic parameters, elucidation energy transfer pathways both photosynthetic antenna centers. Since carotenoids do not take part electron reactions, paramagnetic radical species occur a lesser extent vivo, although they may play role photoprotection Photosystem II.
