Photochemistry and photokinetics

T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin, R amounts to 8.31 J mol K- and t is the viscosity in kg m- s (Pa s). At room temperature and normal viscosity of the solvent, the rate constant becomes 10 ° P mol s . Energy transfer can be caused even by induced resonance without any impact up to distances of 5-10 nm, a process of quantum mechanical origin [8, 9]. Under these conditions the bimolecular rate constant is independent of the viscosity of the solvent and approaches values up to 10 P mol S . Strictly speaking this process cannot be treated as a normal bimolecular reaction.

All the quantum yields defined so far cannot give a correct view of the photokinetics. light absorbed during the photoreaction changes and the photochemical process can combine more than one step of photochemistry. 

Measurement and evaluation of photokinetics assume that the reaction solution is spatially homogeneous to be able to take into account the problems with the amount of light absorbed. Homogeneous medium and stirring are prerequisites. However, in photochemistry with lasers or in viscous media the dependence of concentration on the volume element irradiated and observed has to be taken into account. Strategies to consider these problems...

Photochemical selection of BR variants require a high throughput screening method for mutants with long O-state concentrations and efficient O P transitions. Two types of selection methods currently exist for BR-based libraries. Type 1 selection involves the in vitro characterization of isolated purple membrane fragments, while type 2 involves screening the photochemistry of whole cell cultures. The photokinetic properties of each variant protein are directly measured in type 1 screening. The drawback...
