Energy transfer pathways among phycobilin chromophores and fluorescence emission spectra of the phycobilisome core at 293 and 77 K.

Energy transfer pathways between phycobiliproteins chromophores in the phycobilisome (PBS) core of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 were investigated. The computer 3D model of the PBS core with determination of chromophore to chromophore distance was created.
