This project combines nanotechnology and genetic engineering to improve the efficiency of light absorption in photosensitive proteins. By creating hybrid materials that enhance energy transfer, it aims to optimize biological functions in light-harvesting applications.
Most photosensitive integral membrane proteins (PIMP) are not able to deal with the excess energy of photons from UV to blue region and normally do not absorb them at all.
If high-energy photons were absorbed, they might destroy the light-harvesting chromophores or even induce apoptotic-like cell death.
Thus, the energy efficiency of green plants is less than 5% and the energy-producing PIMP bacteriorhodopsin (bR) not possessing specific light-harvesting system utilizes less than 0.5% of solar l…
