- Observation At 1 kilolux of white light, spinach chloroplasts can produce at most a potential difference of 1.32 eV for System I.
- Observation At 1 kilolux of white light, spinach chloroplasts can produce at most a potential difference of 1.36 eV for System II.
- Observation In the absence of non-radiative losses, the maximum free energy stored per photon absorbed by spinach System I is 1.19 eV.
- Observation In the absence of non-radiative losses, the maximum free energy stored per photon absorbed by spinach System II is 1.23 eV.
- Observation The bacterium Chromatium stores at most 0.79 eV of free energy per photon absorbed.
- Method / resource Calculated luminescence spectra of purple bacteria agree well but not perfectly with published experimental spectra.
- Method / resource The combined calculated luminescence spectrum closely fits published experimental measurement when System I yield is one-third of System II.
