In oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, two photosystem reaction centres (PSI and PSII) cooperate to split water 1. The regulation of photosynthesis has been studied based on the idea that all ...
Researchers from Okayama University have discovered rapid structural changes in the oxygen-evolving center of Photosystem II (PSII) upon light excitation, revealing insights into the mechanism of ...
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.
In higher plants and green algae, photosystem II (PSII) usually combines with light harvesting complex II (LHCII) to form the PSII-LHCII supercomplex. Under low-light conditions, the PSII-LHCII ...
Japanese researchers have solved a new crystal structure of photosystem II (PSII) using an X-ray free-electron laser (Nature 2014, DOI: 10.1038/nature13991). The structure, free of radiation-derived ...
Plants are very efficient at turning photons into electrons. But the transport of these electrons is a rather chaotic process, scientists have discovered. They used molecular dynamics to visualize the ...
Two teams of researchers have revealed microscopic details of how oxygen is formed during photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria harness sunlight to create the energy ...
