Multicomponent nanoscale patterning of functional light‐harvesting protein complexes by local oxidation lithography [PDF]
Advanced Materials Interfaces, 2021 Local oxidation lithography has the potential for patterning proteins on conductive substrates such as silicon with nanometer accuracy, guided by and extending the nanoscale architectures found in native bioenergetic membranes.

Remodeling of Light-Harvesting Protein Complexes inChlamydomonasin Response to Environmental Changes [PDF]
Eukaryotic Cell, 2004 Photosynthesis is dependent on light. Photosynthetic organisms struggle their entire lives to optimize photosynthetic function and minimize photooxidative damage in response to light quantity and quality. When the absorbed light energy exceeds the capacity of photosynthetic energy consumption, overreduction of electron transport carriers and ...

Bacteriochlorophyll-protein complexes from the light-harvesting antenna of photosynthetic bacteria [PDF]
Biochemistry, 1978 Detergent-solubilized bacteriochlorophyll--protein complexes corresponding to the light-harvesting antenna are isolated from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides, strain 2.4.1 (wild-type) and R-2 (carotenoidless) mutant, and from Rhodospirillum rubrum, wild-type.

Fluorescence blinking of single major light-harvesting complexes
New Journal of Physics, 2013 Recent time-resolved studies have revealed the switching behavior of single photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes. In this work, we suggest a conceptual diffusion-controlled model, which is able to describe essential protein dynamics underlying this ...

Role of an ancient light-harvesting protein of PSI in light absorption and photoprotection
Nature Communications, 2021 Diverse algae of the red lineage possess chlorophyll a-binding proteins termed LHCR, comprising the PSI light-harvesting system, which represent an ancient antenna form that evolved in red algae and was acquired through secondary endosymbiosis.

Machine Learning Exciton Hamiltonians in Light-Harvesting Complexes
Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2023 We propose a machine learning (ML)-based strategy for an inexpensive calculation of excitonic properties of light-harvesting complexes (LHCs). The strategy uses classical molecular dynamics simulations of LHCs in their natural environment in combination ...
