We have recently published few papers on the method and applications of
the "spectrum reconstruction method" for a quantitaive determination of
the pigment content in LHC II, LH 1,
LH 2 and also some bacterial reaction centers. I suggest you to refer to
the following papers for more details:
1.K. R. Naqvi et al, Spectrochimica Acta Part A, 53, 2229 (1997).
2.C. Buechel et al , Spectrochimica Acta Part A, 54, 719 (1998).
3. J. B. Arellano et al, Photochem. Photobiol., 68, 84 (1998).
