A Modular Light-Harvesting Complex
Built on the DNA Three-Way Junction

A light-harvesting complex (LHC) composed of a p-stacked multichromophoric array in a DNA three-way junction is described.
The modular design allows for a ready exchange of non-covalently attached energy acceptors.

This work was carried out in the group of Prof. Robert Häner.
