The more light is exposed to the enzyme, the more the
reaction advances.
Sunny day, more Chlide is biosynthesized

Summary
[the results from the femtosecond visible pump-probe]
Absorption of the first photon activates the enzyme,
which results in a high quantum yield formation of
products when a second photon is absorbed.
