Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance was used to study the properties of carotenoid triplet states populated in LH2 light-harvesting complexes of phototrophic bacteria Allochromatium minutissimum, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, and in carotenoid films free of bacteriochlorophyll. The study was performed on purified LH2 preparations not contaminated by reaction centers, and under selective pigment excitation. The obtained results enable a conclusion that the carotenoid triplet states, both in LH2 complexes and films, are populated in the process of homofission of singlet excitation into two triplets, which involves only carotenoid molecules. It is observed that the fission process in magnetic field leads to predominant population of the T0 spin sublevel of the triplet. One molecular spin sublevel of the triplet is demonstrated to possess an increased probability of intersystem crossing to the ground state, independent of the carotenoid configuration. Pigment composition of the LH2 protein heterodimers is discussed, and a conclusion of the possible

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D004735 Energy Transfer The transfer of energy of a given form among different scales of motion. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed). It includes the transfer of kinetic energy and the transfer of chemical energy. The transfer of chemical energy from one molecule to another depends on proximity of molecules so it is often used as in techniques to measure distance such as the use of FORSTER RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER. Transfer, Energy
