Picosecond spectroscopy of the isolated reaction centers from the photosystems of oxygenic photosynthesis--ten years (1987-1997) of fun : a tribute to Michael R. Wasielewski on his 60th birthday.

abstract：:We present here the life and work of Shmuel Malkin (1934-2017), an accomplished scientist and a gifted musician who touched the lives of many around the world. His early scientific work addressed the dynamics of light harvesting and electron transport in photosynthesis. Later, he used photoacoustic and photothermal me...
