Cryo-electron microscopy confirms that controlled alignment of Photosystem I on graphene boosts electron flow and durability ...

One longstanding puzzle concerning photosystem II, a core component of photosynthesis, is that only one of the two symmetric branches in its reaction centre is active in electron transfer. To ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The first step of photosynthesis in plants is the absorption of sunlight by pigments in the antenna complexes of photosystem II (PSII), ...

Coccolithophores are a type of single-celled microalgae that fix CO 2 into organic matter and precipitate calcium carbonate, profoundly shaping ocean optics, carbon export, and long-term carbon ...

Researchers have discovered why bioelectrodes containing the photosynthesis protein complex photosystem I are not stable in the long term. Such electrodes could be useful for converting light energy ...

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 ...

Dark-grown cells of the pigment mutant C-6D of Scenedesmus obliquus, strain D3 (Gaffron 1939), contain only chlorophyll (Chl) a and carotenoid precursors. In these cells a functioning photosystem I ...

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.

A GIF of the structural changes of Photosystem II and its catalytic center (Mn4Ca cluster) during the water oxidation reaction. The movie shows the S2 to S3 transition step, where the first water (as ...

Researchers at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (along with collaborators in Sweden, Germany and the UK) have shed new light on the final step of ...
