One-step isolation and biochemical characterization of a highlyactive plant PSII monomeric core [PDF]
We describe a one-step detergent solubilization protocol for isolating a highly active form of Photosystem II (PSII) from Pisum sativum L. Detailed characterization of the preparation showed that the complex was a monomer having no light harvesting ...

Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus have evolved different adaptive mechanisms to cope with light and UV stress [PDF]
Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, which numerically dominate vast oceanic areas, are the two most abundant oxygenic phototrophs on Earth. Although they require solar energy for photosynthesis, excess light and associated high UV radiations can induce ...

Structural and functional characterisation of Photosystem II from two His-tagged transplastomic strains of Nicotiana tabacum [PDF]
Photosystem II (PSII) is a polypeptide-cofactor complex organised as a homodimeric multisubunit protein embedded in the thylakoid membrane. PSII monomers are heterooligomers related to each other by a pseudo-twofold axis perpendicular to the membrane ...

Ferredoxin and flavodoxin reduction by photosystem I [PDF]
Ferredoxin and flavodoxin are soluble proteins which are reduced by the terminal electron acceptors of photosystem I. The kinetics of ferredoxin (flavodoxin) photoreduction are discussed in detail, together with the last steps of intramolecular ...

Biochemical and biotechnological approaches as basis for structure determination of pigment-protein complexes of oxygenic photosynthesis [PDF]
Today the structure of photosystem II, which is the enzyme responsible for the evolution of molecular oxygen by plants, algae and cyanobacteria, is known up to a resolution of about 3.0 Å in cyanobacteria (Loll et al., 2005).

Dynamic plastid redox signals integrate gene expression and metabolism to induce distinct metabolic states in photosynthetic acclimation in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plants possess acclimation responses in which structural reconfigurations adapt the photosynthetic apparatus to fluctuating illumination. Long-term acclimation involves changes in plastid and nuclear gene expression and is controlled by redox signals ...
