Excited-State Dynamics of All the Mono-<i>cis</i> and the Major Di-<i>cis</i> Isomers of β-Apo-8′-Carotenal as Revealed by Femtosecond Time-Resolved Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

Excited-State Dynamics of All the Mono-<i>cis</i> and the Major Di-<i>cis</i> Isomers of β-Apo-8′-Carotenal as Revealed by Femtosecond Time-Resolved Transient Absorption Spectroscopy

<i>Cis</i> isomers of carotenoids play important roles in light harvesting and photoprotection in photosynthetic bacteria, such as the reaction center in purple bacteria and the photosynthetic apparatus in cyanobacteria. Carotenoids containing carbonyl groups are involved in efficient en...
