Triplet-triplet energy transfer from chlorophylls to carotenoids is the mechanism underlying the photoprotective role played by carotenoids in many light harvesting complexes, during photosynthesis. The peridinin-chlorophyll-a protein (PCP) is a water-soluble light harvesting protein of the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae, employing

Site-directed spin labeling of proteins by chemical modification of engineered cysteine residues with the molecule MTSSL (1-Oxyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrroline-3-methyl methanethiosulfonate) has been an invaluable tool for conducting double electron electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy experiments. However, this method is generally limited to recombinant

Tikhonov regularization is the most commonly used method for extracting distance distributions from experimental double electron-electron resonance (DEER) spectroscopy data. This method requires the selection of a regularization parameter, α, and a regularization operator, L. We analyze the performance of
