Ultrafast Dynamics and Spectroscopy of Photosystem I Subunits at Low Temperatures

低温下光系统I亚基的超快动力学和光谱学该奖项是根据美国工业化国家科学家和工程师交流计划1987/1988竞赛提出的。该项目旨在使美国科学家和工程师能够在西欧工业化国家以及日本、澳大利亚和新西兰的研究机构进行长期研究。交换奖为进行联合研究和利用国外独特或互补的设施、专门知识和实验条件提供了机会。奖项的评选依据是与其科学领域相关的科学标准、申请人专业发展的前景潜力，以及与促进国际科学与工程合作有关的标准。该项目特别针对正在从事研究工作的科学家和工程师。本研究项目将利用亚皮秒激光光谱学研究两种不同分子体系的光相干减相。第一个项目将测量叶绿素A“天线”分子到绿色植物光系统i的P700亚基的反应中心核心色素之间的激发转移速率。第二个项目将测量在极低温下激发态脱相或大型有机分子作为溶剂和温度的函数。​该项目由美国芝加哥大学化学系Edward W. Castner, Jr.博士和格罗宁根大学物理化学实验室d.a Wiersma教授指导，nijenborg 16,9747 AG，格罗宁根，荷兰。该奖励建议提供资金，酌情支付国际旅行，国外本地旅行，津贴，家属津贴（如果适用），语言培训（如果需要），以及250美元的固定行政津贴或美国家庭机构。

Ultrafast Dynamics and Spectroscopy of Photosystem I Subunits at Low Temperatures This award recommendation is made under the U.S.-Industrialized Countries Program for the Exchange of Scientists and Engineers, 1987/1988 Competition. The program is designed to enable U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct long-term research at research institutions in the industrialized countries of Western Europe as well as Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. Exchange awards provide opportunities for the conduct of joint research and the utilization of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions in foreign countries. Awards are selected on the basis of scientific criteria relevant to his/her field of science, the prospective potential of the applicants for professional growth, as well as criteria relevant to the furthering of international cooperation in science and engineering. The program is particularly directed to scientists and engineers who are embarking on their research careers. This research project will use subpicosecond laser spectroscopy to study optical coherence dephasing in two different kinds of molecular systems. The first project will be to measure the rates of excitation transfer between chlorophyll A "antenna" molecules to the reaction center core pigment of the green plant P700 subunit of Photosystem I. The second project will be to measure the excited state dephasing or large organic molecules as a function of solvent and temperature at extremely low temperatures. The project is under the direction of Dr. Edward W. Castner, Jr., Department of Chemistry, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL 60637, U.S.A., and Professor D.A. Wiersma, Laboratory of Physical Chemistry, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh 16, 9747 AG, Groningen, The Netherlands. This award recommendation provides funds to cover, as appropriate, international travel, local travel abroad, stipend, dependents allowance, if applicable, language training, if required, and a flat administrative allowance of $250 or the U.S. home institution.
