Mimicking dye-based functions of natural blue-light photoreceptors by studying photoinduced energy and electron transfer in a pyrene-isoalloxazine(flavin)-phenothiazine triad.
An artificial system containing phenothiazine as electron donor, isoalloxazine as flavinoid redox-mediator and pyrene as antenna has been built up in order to model photoinduced energy and electron transfer processes of natural blue-light photoreceptors.
