In biophysics, transduction [1] is the conveyance of energy from one electron (a donor) to another (a receptor), at the same time that the class of energy changes.
Photonic energy, the kinetic energy of a photon, may follow the following paths:
- be released again as a photon of less energy;
- be transferred to a recipient with no change in class;
- be dissipated as heat; or
- be transduced.
