Reduced model of photosystem II and its use to evaluate the photosynthetic apparatus characteristics according to the fluorescence induction curves [PDF]

open access: yesКомпьютерные исследования и моделирование, 2012
The approach for the analysis of some large-scale biological systems, on the base of quasiequilibrium stages is proposed. The approach allows us to reduce the detailed large-scaled models and obtain the simplified model with an analytical solution.

Cyanobacterial Acclimation to Photosystem I or Photosystem II Light [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1986
The organization and function of the photochemical apparatus of Synechococcus 6301 was investigated in cells grown under yellow and red light regimes. Broadband yellow illumination is absorbed preferentially by the phycobilisome (PBS) whereas red light is absorbed primarily by the chlorophyll (Chl) pigment beds.

Chlorophyll Fluorescence Measurements in Arabidopsis Wild-type and Photosystem II Mutant Leaves

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2015
Chlorophyll fluorescence measurement is a widely used technique to determine photosynthetic performance. Light energy absorbed by a chlorophyll molecule can be dissipated by driving photochemical energy conversion, as heat in non-photochemical quenching ...

Evolutionary dynamics of the chloroplast genome in Daphne (Thymelaeaceae): comparative analysis with related genera and insights into phylogenetics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Comparative analysis of chloroplast genomes from 14 genera of Thymelaeaceae revealed variation in gene content, ranging from 128 to 142 genes, primarily influenced by IR expansion/contraction events and pseudogenization of ndhF, ndhI, and ndhG. Two large inversions were detected within the large single‐copy region, including a synapomorphic inversion ...

Ultrafast infrared observation of exciton equilibration from oriented single crystals of photosystem II

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
There are two common models of photosynthetic light harvesting by photosystem II cores. Here, the authors use structurally sensitive, time resolved infrared pleochroism of single crystals of photosystem II core complexes to probe the exciton ...

Quality Control of Photosystem II [PDF]

open access: yesPlant and Cell Physiology, 2001
Photosystem II is particularly vulnerable to excess light. When illuminated with strong visible light, the reaction center D1 protein is damaged by reactive oxygen molecules or by endogenous cationic radicals generated by photochemical reactions, which is followed by proteolytic degradation of the damaged D1 protein.

Specific association of photosystem II and light‐harvesting complex II in partially solubilized photosystem II membranes [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1998
In this study, we report the structural characterization of photosystem II complexes obtained from partially solubilized photosystem II membranes. Direct observation by electron microscopy, within a few minutes after a mild disruption of the membranes with the detergent n‐dodecyl‐α,d‐maltoside, revealed the presence of several large supramolecular ...

Effects of spine-shading on aspects of photosynthesis for three cactus species

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2016
We evaluated the effect of spine removal on three cactus species varying in spine-shading of stems. Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus showed the greater spine shading (c. 61 %), followed by Mammillaria zephyranthoides (43 %), and Echinocactus platyacanthus (

Multiple functions of photosystem II.

open access: yesIndian journal of biochemistry & biophysics, 2000
The most important function of photosystem II (PSII) is its action as a water-plastoquinone oxido-reductase. At the expense of light energy, water is split, and oxygen and plastoquinol are formed. In addition to this most important activity, PSII has additional functions, especially in the regulation of (light) energy distribution.
