Photosynthetic light reactions
Our research
We are focused in studying photosynthetic light reactions, in particular the water oxidation and proton coupled electron transfer in photosystem II.
We use interdisciplinary approach combining a variety of biochemical, biophysical and spectroscopic techniques. Our primary method is Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy which is well suited to study the electron transfer reactions in biological systems.
