Photosynthesis is the principal solar energy conversion process on Earth, but is low in
overall efficiency due to numerous steps necessary to fix carbon. Tapping into the high-efficiency …

In a quest to fabricate novel solar energy materials, the high quantum efficiency and long
charge separated states of photosynthetic pigment‐proteins are being exploited through their …

While the role of collagen and elastin fibrous components in heart valve valvular biomechanics
has been extensively investigated, the biomechanical role of the glycosaminoglycan (…

Amperometric biosensing, exemplified by the popular glucose biosensor, is a well-established
method for transducing analyte-receptor binding events into accessible electronic outputs…

The Rhodobacter sphaeroides reaction centre is a relatively robust and tractable membrane
protein that has potential for exploitation in technological applications, including biohybrid …

The high quantum efficiency of photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) makes them attractive
