Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Conference Paper Description
Photosynthetic reaction center (RC) pigment protein complex converts the free energy of light into chemical potential of charge pairs with extremely high efficiency. A transient phase in the absorption spectrum in the sub-millisecond time scale is expected to be especially important to examine the conformational gating model of the Q Q to Q Q (here Q and Q are the primary and secondary quinone type electron acceptors, respectively) electron transport. Essential kinetic components at few tens of microseconds scale and at around 200 μs have been suggested. We investigated the conformation change of RCs using heterodyne detection of the laser-induced transient grating method. An about 25 μs dynamics was observed, which coincides with the one described by the conformational gating model and possibly related to the nonadiabatic intrinsic Q Q to QQ electron transport. The relative intensity of this component decreased with increasing quinone concentration indicating an initial (PQ) or a relaxed (PQ ) conformational substate. We did not find the decay component at few hundreds of microseconds time scale indicating that there is no large displacement in the RC structure if Q is present. The diffusion coefficient of the RC/LDAO detergent micelles calculated from the kinetic component was D = 3.8 × 10 m/s that agrees fairly well with the number estimated from the Einstein-Stokes relationship, and relates to a hydrodynamic diameter of 11.4 nm of the RC in LDAO micellar solution. © 2008 EBSA.
