ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Diversity of viral photosystem-I psaA genes [PDF]

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2014
Abstract Marine photosynthesis is one of the major contributors to the global carbon cycle and the world’s oxygen supply. This process is largely driven by cyanobacteria, namely Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus. Genes encoding photosystem-II (PSII) reaction center proteins are found in many cyanophage genomes, and are expressed during ...

Direct energy transfer from photosystem II to photosystem I confers winter sustainability in Scots Pine

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Evergreen conifers rely on ‘sustained quenching’ to protect their photosynthetic machinery during long, cold winters. Here, Bag et al. show that direct energy transfer (spillover) from photosystem II to photosystem I triggered by loss of grana stacking ...

Plants lacking the main light-harvesting complex retain photosystem II macro-organization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Photosystem II (PSII) is a key component of photosynthesis, the process of converting sunlight into the chemical energy of life. In plant cells, it forms a unique oligomeric macrostructure in membranes of the chloroplasts.

Electron transfer in photosystem I

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2001
This mini-review focuses on recent experimental results and questions, which came up since the last more comprehensive reviews on the subject. We include a brief discussion of the different techniques used for time-resolved studies of electron transfer in photosystem I (PS I) and relate the kinetic results to new structural data of the PS I reaction ...

Antenna complexes protect Photosystem I from Photoinhibition

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background Photosystems are composed of two moieties, a reaction center and a peripheral antenna system. In photosynthetic eukaryotes the latter system is composed of proteins belonging to Lhc family. An increasing set of evidences demonstrated how these

Modeling of Transient Absorption Spectra in Exciton Charge-Transfer Systems

open access: yes, 2017
Time-resolved spectroscopy provides the main tool for analyzing the dynamics of excitonic energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes. To infer time-scales and effective coupling parameters from experimental data requires to develop numerical exact ...

Chloramphenicol mediates superoxide production in Photosystem II and enhances its photodamage in isolated membrane particles

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Chloramphenicol is an inhibitor of protein synthesis, which is frequently used to decouple photodamage and protein synthesis dependent repair of Photosystem II during the process of photoinhibition.

Structure of Photosystem I Supercomplex Isolated from a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Cytochrome b6f Temperature-Sensitive Mutant

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
The unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, has been widely used as a model system to study photosynthesis. Its possibility to generate and analyze specific mutants has made it an excellent tool for mechanistic and biogenesis studies.

Induction Kinetics of Photosystem I-Activated P700 Oxidation in Plant Leaves and Their Dependence on Pre-Energization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Absorbance changes ¿A 810 were measured in pea (Pisum sativum L., cv. Premium) leaves to track redox transients of chlorophyll P700 during and after irradiation with far red (FR) light under various preillumination conditions in the absence and presence ...
