title: Thirty years of fun with antenna pigment-proteins and photochemical reaction centers: A tribute to the people who have influenced my career.
abstract: The author summarizes the research contributions to photosynthesis made by him, his graduate and postdoctoral students, visiting scientists and by his collaboration with other photosynthesis workers during 1964-1994. The development of isolation procedures and biochemical/biophysical characterization of antenna pigment-proteins and photochemical reaction centers are described together with the author's education and experiences as a scientific researcher. Some anecdotes hopefully add insight into what it was like to be in this area of science during the period.
