Professor Petra Fromme carried out her initial studies in Biochemistry at the Free University of Berlin, and her PhD in Chemistry in the Technical University of Berlin. She is author of over 70 scientific publications. She then worked as professor in the Technical University of Berlin, before becoming Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Arizona State University in 2002, the position she currently holds. She has received several international awards for her work including the Biology 2001 award of the Academy of Science of Goettingen, the Robin Hill Award of the International Photosynthesis Society and the Lemberg Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science.

"This book was very enjoyable and informative to read and should prove to be an invaluable resource for graduate students and other scientists with interests in structure and function of membrane protein complexes, in general, and photosynthetic electron-transport phenomena, in particular."
