Heat and water deficit stresses tend to impede and restrict the efficiency of photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and maximum photochemical quantum yield in plants based on their characteristic ...

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multiprotein complex that catalyzes the light-driven water-splitting reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis. Light absorption by PSII leads to the production of excited states ...

Future prospects for clean, green, renewable energy may hinge upon our ability to mimic and improve upon photosynthesis – the process by which green plants, algae and some bacteria convert solar ...

We are aiming to explore electron transfer and binding mechanisms between the soluble electron transfer proteins plastocyanin or cytochrome c6 and photosystem I (PSI) (Finazzi et al., 2005; Sommer et ...

In the recent decade, scientists have paid more attention to studying light harvest for producing novel bionic materials or integrating naturally biological components into synthetic systems.

Many proteins of the photosynthesis complexes are encoded by the genome of the chloroplast and synthesized by bacterium-like ribosomes within this organelle. To determine where proteins are ...

Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in shaping and sustaining life on Earth, yet many aspects of the process remain a mystery. One such mystery is how Photosystem II, a protein complex in plants, ...

Cyanobacteria began contributing oxygen to Earth's mostly noxious atmosphere more than 2 billion years ago. The photosystem II protein complex now shared by various lineages of cyanobacteria, algae ...

Die Photosynthese ist die wichtigste Grundlage des Lebens auf der Erde: Hierbei nutzen Pflanzen und einzellige Algen die Energie des Sonnenlichts und wandeln diese in Zucker und Biomasse um. Bei ...

Using ultrafast, intensely bright pulses of X-rays scientists have obtained the first ever images at room temperature of photosystem II, a protein complex critical for photosynthesis and future ...
