We honor Steve Brody, a dear friend and a mentor on what would have been his 83rd birthday (November 29, 2010). Steve was a pioneer of chlorophyll structure and function, an outstanding biophysicist, an innovator, an artist and an adventurer, a true renaissance man. We present here first his first-of-a-kind contributions on the primary processes of photosynthesis at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and then review his research on the interactions of chlorophyll monolayers and various photosynthetic electron donors and acceptors in artificial membrane systems at New York University. We highlight significant research contributions of interest to the reader and conclude with biographical notes.
