Resumo: |
Giuseppe Cilento, professor at University of São Paulo in the 1950´s, considered that excited species in non-emissive tiplet state could exist in biochemical systems, providing the energy needed for some biological reactions. The development of his research lead him to consider that the energy released by these excited molecules could be used so that biochemical system produced photosynthetic reactions, even in the absence of light, creating a new research field: the photobiochemistry in the dark. Cilento also demonstrated the existence of this type of reaction in “in vivo” cells, with possible application in various study fields, such as medicine, biochemistry, pharmaceutics, agronomy and bioenergetics. His work at University of São Paulo, at University of Campinas (Unicamp) and in fostering agencies, along with other researchers who sought for the establishment of the biochemical field in São Paulo, was of fundamental importance to institutionalize this area of study in Brazil |
