Euglena Gracilis Photosynthetic Complexes: Absorption, CD, and Fluorescence Spectra

Spectroscopic data from isolated photosynthetic protein complexes and whole cells of Euglena gracilis. The dataset includes absorption, circular dichosim, fluorescence, and picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurements, published by author Petar H. Lambrev. It was last updated on 2026-05-21.

Use Cases

• Modeling energy transfer dynamics based on decay-associated emission spectra (DAES).
• Comparing pigment-protein complex structures using circular dichroism spectra.
• Analyzing fluorescence emission spectra under different temperatures and excitation wavelengths.
• Benchmarking spectroscopic properties of photosystem I and II supercomplexes.

Strengths

• Includes standard error files for major spectral data types, allowing for uncertainty assessment.
• Covers multiple spectroscopic techniques (absorption, CD, fluorescence, time-resolved) on the same biological samples.
• Data is structured by specific protein complex (LHCI, LHCII, PSI, PSII) and experimental condition (temperature, excitation wavelength).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Dataset is small at 148.4 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
