Abstract: The photophysics of pigments is influenced, to an extent depending on its structure, by the properties of the environment. Proteins represent a very specific environment at least in two aspects: i) they are native to most of the pigments in living systems; ii) they facilitate modifications of pigment configuration, leading to changes not only in its spectroscopic properties, but also in its functional abilities. In studies presented in this thesis, femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy was used to study predominantly the photosynthetic antenna complexes of bacteria and algae. Based on spectroscopic evidence, the structural modifications of pigments imposed by the protein were deduced or hypothesized, together with their functional relevance.
