Scientists determine the structure of highly efficient light-harvesting molecules in green bacteria
Date: 17.5.2009
An international team of scientists has determined the structure of the chlorophyll molecules in **green bacteria** that are responsible for harvesting **light energy**. The team's results one day could be used to build artificial photosynthetic systems, such as those that convert solar energy to electrical energy. A research paper about the discovery will be published on 4 May 2009 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
